[time-nuts] Thunderbolt spurs on 10MHz output at 100Hz and 200Hz from signal.

Assuming a nonlinearity, a distortion or partly clipping of only one
halfwave, would result in a massive even harmonic, as the 200Hz in the
example. From this point of view "as expected", but a different distortion
could as well result in any other even harmonic.
