Stefan,
Thanks for the info and advice. Yes, ferrite beads sound like a
good idea. The resistors and caps (1M 100k 68pF 680pF etc) between the
FET's are for lowpass or something else?

Hi Joe,
That choke was just intended to improve the supply voltage stability (low
pass filtering). It's value is not critical.
Meanwhile i've learned that it can be helpful to spend a ferrite bead in
front of the jFETs gate, to prevent VHF oscillations...
I am one of those who prefer to spend one more component here and there, just
to prevent eventual unintended behaviour...

Hi Stefan and group,
I am building a probe using your design. Could you
explain the interstage network and the 470 uH choke?
I hope to use this to detect some 36 km photons. So far,
using the PA0RDT miniwhip (without the VLF refit)
and Spectrum Lab has resulted in reception only of
near field electrostatic and induced artefacts
ie: my best DX is only 5.2 km.
Best 73 & TNX
