Congrats.  You have done well!  And it has been interesting reading about
your journey.  Parts in backwards is not a new thing.  We all have done it.
But what is really to be commended it your persistence and willingness to
learn something new.  I have complete confidence that you will complete this
job, and have a fine radio.

You have done well!  And we can all learn something from you.
