experimental broadband cascode JFET VPA

Many builders emailed me requesting a simple, broadband VPA (voltage probe antenna) design with more power gain than the common gate versions I have presented elsewhere on this web site. Connecting a whip antenna to a cascode JFET stage described by W7ZOI in Experimental Methods in RF Design is 1 method I considered. I built the version shown in Figure 1 almost 2 years ago. This VPA. although more powerful, overloaded the front end of my test receiver with multiple RF signals. Clearly some tuning on the input was needed.
