[time-nuts] PN/AM and 1.5Hz spur from frequency doubling?

[Anders Wallin]

Thanks for all the comments so far.
I will try the doubler with another quieter source, and try removing
various potential noise-sources and exchanging cables...

I have now uploaded a few more images of the same data to the shared album
linked in my earlier post.
