No. But I wouldn't bother with a pc board for a Pixie II. Manhattan style would be a lot easier, unless the whole point of the project is learning how to make PC boards.

I've built DC, regen and superhet receivers, and Pixie IIs, all done a lot bigger than the projects you see printed. I like to have lots of room to work with. It makes modifying a lot easier, and my fat little fingers fit between parts a lot easier.
I recommend manhattan style because you can build it YOUR way -- not the way the pc board designer wanted to do it. You also can use parts at hand. There won't be any ordering parts to get one that will fit in the board. Manhattan style gives you total freedom.
There are a lot of manhattan builders on this board and QRP-L.
