Re: Perf board
Have you come across QRPme pads? (Google "QRPME", no connection, and other search engines are available.)
They're very thin FR4 boards, scored to snap off into individual bits ranging from single quarter inch squares through adaptors for DIL or SMT ICs right up to adaptors for valves (Octal, B9a, B7G).
They allow all these components to be surface mounted on a ground plane and hand wired, and, in the case of tiny SMT devices, increase the lead pitch to make wiring them into a circuit easier.
I think it's called Manhattan Construction, much better for HF than Veroboard. And with all the components and the wiring on one side, it's easier to debug and modify.
