It would be good to have the HP 1GHz vector voltmeter ! I guess transistor manufacturers could afford these tools.

I've got one of these old VVMs here but I also have the modern equivalent in the form of a 4 port VNA. If anyone is interested I could measure a (Farnell sourced Fairchild) BC547B and export s2p data for various Vce and Ic operating points.
It might be fun to convert these S parameters to H parameters and try and predict where Ft is and where the 6dB/octave slope is? I could post up the s2p data files here so people can have a play at home using tools like RFSIM99 or QUCS?
There are also various (free) GNU Octave tools available online for manipulating or converting s parameter data. Maybe this is all a bit OTT but some people on here might not have access to a decent VNA but they might still want to play with the data? If I buy some popular Ge RF transistors I could do the same with these.
