No, actually, I think 30 hours is just about right.  If you're an 
electronics assembler for a living, it might take a bit less; but 30 
hours is just about what I spent on mine.  Of course, I double check 
everything before soldering; and I solder each component one at a time.  
I figure that a) I don't want to see any smoke and b) if I have to 
troubleshoot, at least let it be for something that wasn't my stupid 
mistake!

After all, the goal is to end up with a working radio; not to end up 
with a working radio in the shortest amount of time!  We can go to the 
FDIM building contest for that!
