I would strongly recommend to shorten all input paths as much as possible, because what you are experiencing has nothing to do with the transistors.?

Hi Steve and Caaarlo,
As an aside.
If you use the same construction technique as shown in the photo that Caaarlo posted.
/g/loopantennas/photo/296346/3804668Initially cover the whole board in self-adhesive Kapton, and then just cut out areas where you need a ground connection with a scalpel, you will be able to achieve much greater circuit density, and make prototypes a lot quicker than by laying down insulation where it is needed.
This is now my preferred method of prototyping, and I also use thin brass sheet (from model suppliers) instead of PCB material, usually when I need improved heat sinking.
Regards,
Martin
