     Clifton Labs used a portion of that paper in their latest active monopole amplifier offering.  They added a bipolar emitter follower stage between the JFET input and complementary output to further unload the JFET.  They also reverted back to the original KAA 1000 JFET input with far less current.  It's a nice fusion of topologies and the performance is every bit as good.

    I have quite a few loop antenna papers on my page as well as a large work on shielded loop antennas in the files section of the Yahoo! loop antennas group.
