Notes: L1 is air-wound, 4 turns, #20 enameled wire, 6mm diameter,
5mm long, center tapped. The antenna comes off the center tap.
The antenna is 18 inches long - any wire of that length will do.
You can tune the circuit by changing C6 or L1. Try using a
variable (tuning) capacitor in parallel with C6. These values
should place the signal in the FM broadcast band.
The mic is an electret type.
Output range should be a few hundred yards.
The ECG123A transistors can be substituted with 2N706.
