This is an UHF amplifier amplifying a LO signal on 404 MHz. What is the method of calculating the gain of this amp?

One way to calculate the gain of a common emitter amp IIRC is G = Rc / Re.
However, there is no resistor in the emitter.

Is it correct that inhernet emmitter resistance Re = 26/Ie in milliamps?
So the G = (the reactance of L1) / (26/Ie)


Next question: what common UHF transistor can replace the BFS17A? (I belive this is obsolete)

The voltage on the hot side of the R5 resistor is by the way 8V
