Todd are you confident you dont have a intermittent issue with your connection to your antenna and antenna itself?

Greetings:
I built the 3S about 6 months ago and when it works it works great (multiple contacts to DP0GVN with a vertical in Missouri). It will work for a week or so and then it fails. I replace the BS170 (I put in a socket) and life is good; for a week or so.
I set the bias according to the video several times with no luck.? I'm only running a single BS170 and I was wondering if I might have more luck adding two more to the mix???
Thanks in advance and 73,
Todd
