The front panel & board are largely complete. The front now looks like a real
radio. I have to admit that the knobs are a little close together even for my small
fingers. It is clear that the design of this radio is to appeal to the portable/field
use as much or more than being the main stay of the shack.

I have now completed 32 of the 80 build pages of the manual. -That is pretty cool.

During the assembly of the front panel board I also added the Internal
Mic Adaptor mod from Rework Eliminator folks.

The radio is far enough along that I should probably post some pictures now that it
looks something like a radio. If time permits after support and family game night
I would like to start working on the main RF board in section 6 of the book.
