By proto board, I assume you are talking about double sided copper clad perf board. Keep the leads short, and adjoining boards should be via coax or RF connector. An old saying a friend of mine use to say. A ferrite bead on every leadNon RF leads of course. We made prototypes this way, so it can be done, just take care on layout and such.
Actually I'm talking the Radio Shack hanging on the hook perf-board. You know, where you got one little copper eyelet to solder to over each hole. Yeah, beads would be nice but didn't have any with the right diameter. Trust me I pushed the limit for HF. VHF & up would be out of the question. I knew better on the power amps.
