I will try to do that sometime during the next day or so. The author
of the website says that the layout isn't critical, and his version of
the project works great. But when I look at the original QST article
and the photos of how they did it (all direct-wired), I'm amazed at
how simple they were able to keep the assembly. So now I'm wondering
why I bothered to use a printed circuit board in the first place.

John,
Can you post a picture of your unit somewhere(top and bottom views) so we
can see what the PCB & wiring layout looks like? Many times an improper
layout can lead to parasitic oscillations that will raise DC power
consumption without delivering RF on the proper frequency.
