[hfsig] Sidebands on Raspberry Pi WSPR carrier - how to build an ground isolation balun

[Zoltan Doczi]

Hopefully we hear some hints from software side too, for augmenting that
noise, as this coupling to the chain during the modulation phase possibly.

The problem with hand made parts, that this inexpensive module use commerce
mass production capable parts so not fitting the actual BOM.
