Hi,
As suggested by SgtWookie and others I'm using dead-bug construction to prototype RF circuits, and I'm getting much better results than I did using stripboard.
I have a question, if I glue a strip of copper-clad board on top of the ground plane to use as a positive rail will this have a negative effect on the circuit in the same way that long leads add stray capacitance?
Sort of a cross between dead-bug and manhattan style - I find it easier to get a neater layout like this.
Example:
The circuit works fine, but I want to prototype in the best manner possible.
