TV UHF aerial amplifier - PCB EPS 80022

[bill the farmer]

I have a very old TV aerial amplifier that I built from an article in an old Elector magazine and never used. The PCB features a BFT66 FET/transistor, two trimmers, a half turn coil, two inductors made with ferrite beads, three ceramic capacitors, two tantalum capacitors, and four resistors. and a voltage regulator.

The PCB has the number EPS.80022 on both sides.

Is it possible to identify the original article? I noticed a reference to the Elector Item Tracer in a similar post, but could not find anything on this site.

Regards
Bill

EPS.80022 circuit board was used in the Aerial Booster project, which featured in Elektor February 1980 pages 4 to 8.

The basic wideband amplifier had a bandwidth from 80 to 800 MHz. An input filter (with suitable values of L1, C6, C7, C8) could be added to narrow the bandwidth to a specific frequency band.

When I dug out my old stuff found two of these PCB's. But unfortunately the old Elektor issues I had became a mushy pile of paper pulp during a flood we had the year before. Can someone help me with the schematics?
