Best RF FETs for <30MHz, <20W HF Projects—Through-Hole and SMD Options?

I am planning to do some tinkering with low power RF in the HF area. Less than 30mhz and less than 20 watts power. I've done stuff like this to date with bipolar but I just want to try my hand at some fet stuff. At the moment I need to find a good part to work with. I found this one.

its for a lot higher frequencies than I need but should work.
Are there some better choices? not SMD would be nice but I can work with SMD stuff.
i realize I'm reinventing the wheel here but its just for my education.

The biggest issue will be availability, if the part you are interested in is available from a local supplier, all's well. Otherwise, looking at data sheets is often not a good place to start.
Personally I would logon to a site that distributes components, like mouser, digi-key, element 14 etc, and type in "mosfet rf" in the search bar.
Select "in stock", and refine the search further, there are often 10 or more parameters you can select on,
including package(leaded rather than smd if that is what you prefer), frequency, voltage, current, power etc. When the results come up you can scroll down through them, and look at the data sheets. It might appear a little overwhelming to start with, but refining the search parameters will often get you down to a handful of devices, and you at least know that you can obtain them.
A book like the ARRL Handbook is possibly a useful place to start if you are tinkering with RF, and they will often, particularly in the older versions, use leaded parts, and will provide part numbers.
There are a lot of on and offline tools for working with RF, quite a few are free, Smith Charting and simulators come to mind.

The RD01MUS1 is a high frequency RF device and it may work for your low power, low frequency application. However, it is worth considering other options as well.

There are other FETs that might be more suitable for your application, such as the 2N7000 or 2N3819. Both of these are through-hole devices and are commonly used in low power RF circuits. They have a low gate-source threshold voltage and can handle a maximum drain current of around 200mA.

Another option is the BF998, which is a surface-mount device (SMD) and operates at lower frequencies than the RD01MUS1. It has a low noise figure and high gain, making it a good choice for low power RF circuits.

Ultimately, the choice of FET will depend on the specific requirements of your circuit and the level of performance that you need. It would be a good idea to check the datasheets of different devices and compare their key parameters such as frequency range, power handling, and noise figure to see which one would be the best fit for your application.
