Epilog:
?
The new finals arrived and I'm pleased to announce that my QMX+ is on the air!
?
I tried the "lay across the holes technique" for mounting the finals and decided it was too messy.
?
I want to thank everyone who provided helpful comments.? I never would have guessed that the pinouts were reversed on my Chinese bs170's.? I filed the remaining transistors appropriately.
?
Special thanks to Jerry, KE7ER, and Chris, G5CTH for leading me to the correct solution.
?
73 to all.
