The vertical scale is mislabeled. Should have been dBr ref. 3V.@John Atkinson 's plot is labeled in dBV on the vertical. 0dBV equals 1V. He says he tested at 3V out. Off the top of the scale by +9.54dBV and makes the harmonics look worse by ~10dBV. Vertical scale needs to be -150 to +10dBV.

If he wanted to make 0dB the reference, he would have used dBr on the vertical I would expect.
