Would you also need to mine the silicon for the transistor's and carbon for the resistor's to be compliant with 15.23?
Until and unless you have a written ruling, it is up in the air. The unnamed friend of a friend, or my buddy at the FCC is not a ruling. If your not marketing the device, 15.23 says your free to experiment with it as long as you are in good faith technical compliance with the rules.
