I would like to build a simple LC oscillator (Colpitts, maybe) that uses a coil that I can wind using magnet wire. I don't have any winding equipment, so my preference would be for a coil with an air core wound by hand. I would like the oscillator to operate in the human hearing range, say about 2 kHz, and be able to drive a speaker. I have some experience with the LM386, and can build an amplifier if someone will supply a schematic for the oscillator and the instructions for winding the coil. If possible, I would prefer the coil to be wound on an air core of about 1" diameter.
Thanks for any help.
