Your enthusiasm is infectious,? enjoy your group build.
Due to small labels on board, and large manual, I suggest building near a screen to show you where each part goes.
Here in Maryland our club is doing a ubitx group build, so we don't get to do the toroid winding. Suceeding on that 4 winding coil is the thrill, and its a nifty rig. I hope it inspires you to try learning cw.
