Joseph, the reason why this site is a great one is there are people from all walks of life with a variety of experiences and knowledge that are willing to help. You say you’re a recent 2018 electronics graduate with heavy digital training, whereas I started in the 1960s with an interest in electronics as a teen. Graduated from electronics trade school in 69. We had training in tube circuitry and some solid state, just barely touched on simple digital. I am not savvy at all in computer so now that I’m retired, I enjoy antique tube radios. Your brain is still fresh on engineering, theory and math where I have become rusty on a lot of that. Anyway, you are to be commended for your experimenting with this project and depending on what you come up with, this could be the solution for many of us that find ourselves needing an unobtainable IF transformer! I know working with a high frequency like you’re doing is touchy, there are so many factors that affect the outcome. I’m following this project with interest!
