Well, I guess i'm the "technical guy".  An ee by trade, I play an etherwave well enough not to alarm the cat much.

My interest is technical, working on understanding the interactions between the pitch "antenna" and the rest of the circuit.  I'm finding it rather like a Tesla coil, in that there's a lot more to understand than you'd think.

 A somewhat delayed project of mine, is to plot pitch/distance curves for various tuning settings and antenna circuit values, looking for that "sweet spot" where the pitch curve flattens out and makes play much easier.  I've hit this a couple of times in experimenting, but don't have the relationships worked out to fully understand it yet.
