I was very pleased to see Mikael's video. This is our first receiver from Sweden. In his QRZ page Mikael talks of learning CW while in the military, and of making a few contacts with the equpment of his regiment. I had a similar experience -- I once made a CW contact with the rig assigned to our team.
Mikael writes:
Thank you Bill.
I’ve been a Ham for 35 years with a long gap in the middle of 20+.
I am of course a Soldersmoke listener and tried to build this dcr when you built it in the highschool project, but I didn’t succeed that time and gave up.
But with all the guidance here on discord I gave it one more go, and succeeded. 😊
The hardest thing was, as for many other, the af stage and oscillation. But some bypass caps and problem solved.
I got so much help just reading all posts here so thank you all in this community!
Now I will lean back for a while and listen to my baby. I am a proud father right now.

Indeed Mikael, that is what Farhan advises: it back and enjoy the receiver that you have built. Congratulations! The receiver sounds great on CW and on SSB.
