According to Molex, circuit #1 on the male connector is the leftmost pin
when the locking tab is at the rear.

My humble suggestion is to not stuff J1-J4 and JP1.   For J1-J4, that leaves
the option to solder coax directly to the board.  As for JP1, if you tap a
5V regulated supply, you need to wire power to pin 2 of JP1.
