Hi Ed,
    I knew about the 2N3866 and 2N5109 disappearing so I bought a bunch of 
2N3866 while they were still in stock. Same transistor die only with a lower Ft 
of 800MHz instead of 1500 MHz.
  I have used them for years in a similar preamp circuit. I can send you one or 
a few at $3.00 each which is what I paid. And a little postage.
You are correct, don't buy the Chinese ones as the ones I received were so slow 
they must have been audio transistors.

I remember about a year ago a discussion not to buy the 2n5109 transistors from 
E-Bay sellers . Some searching shows the 2n5109 has been discontinued for many 
years . So is anyone that's been saving one for many years willing to part with 
it ? I'm using it in a W7IUV pre-amp .

Thanks Ed N5DG
