I didn't look at this circuit carefully; Mikek pointed out that
the JFET's are complementary, not in parallel.  (Thanks Mikek
for correcting me). I also see that Lankford writes that his circuit is derived from Trask's circuit. In any event, the following reference by Chris Trask, N7ZWY gives a bunch of different versions of this circuit.

Chris points out that this idea goes back to at least 1982.
