Congratulations. 

When I was 18, preparing for the RAE I thought 20 was old. Needless to say I
don't think that any more. You must be one of the youngest builders - I
think the average builder age is something like 50.

You are not too far away so perhaps we might manage a QSO some time after
Christmas - I work at RAL just down the A34. Let me know if you have any
troubles finishing the kit, not that that is very likely. There is plenty of
test gear around the lab. You are doing the right thing separating radio and
studies, keep off the real ale too. Physics is a hard enough subject.
