Had this little device for some time, an offer from a fellow ham some time ago (thank you Allan).
Schematic used is similar to the datasheet at: https://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/PGA-103+.pdf
with small changes (similar to https://vu2bfo.in/pga-103-lna/), in the implementation I didn't included the front end diodes:
The PCB was done with very few resources so it had to be tinned.
On the sweep on the spectrum analyzer this is what you get.
Will try this further on as fronted for a VHF/UHF radio.

(includes an HPF design for 130Mhz)
