Driver board pcb

‘ello necks!Hope everyone’s alright and is ready for their annual New Year’s Eve alcohol poisoning!
Just got these in the post today, it’s a driver board ‘design’ rather a mashup because I didn’t design any of it haha I just made a layout.
The vfo is the NRG50mw feeding two paralleled NSVF6003SB6T1G or BFS20 for ~1 watt output or ~500mw respectively - These are estimates but I think it will be somewhere in that ballpark.
The PLL is Albert’s CMOS pll that he’s always raving about haha.74HC4040,4060,4046 and 393.
The reason I chose this pll is because these Ic’s aren’t obsolete and are cheap as chips!I would like to eventually find replacement parts for all the old parts.Also the board is nice’n’compact at 80mm x 75mm.
If all goes to plan this will be a very cost effective driver board that can be left on the roof of a tower block and won’t be a big loss if it gets nicked by some thief twat and 3am!

. I was considering getting the chems together to do a test etch at home but JLCpcb is so cheap It’s not worth it!
