I have recently been designing a PCB in ExpressPCB for **broken link removed** circuit that I plan to make myself. Since it is my first time designing a PCB, I wanted to see if there was anything I should improve upon or change in my design. My main concerns include keeping the planes to save etchant, the locations of the two coils, and the trace paths. Thanks for looking.

I can assure you that the imageshack picture is not a trojan, and I wanted to have a thumbnail picture visible instead of simply hosting it. I used those symbols for the variable capacitors because I was not sure which exact size I was going to use. However, I moved around some of the other components and now each of the variable capacitors has a lot of space around it so that I try other things if it doesn't fit. I will probably use the Sprague-Goodman variable capacitors, the 25V 4.5-50pF cap is only .18" long.
