I am going to guess that my simsmith confusion is coming from my assumption that I need good power transfer. I failed to consider that JFET inputs don't consume power. Since the JFET only cares about voltage and have essentially no current draw, I am now thinking the original schematic in the link may be best since the voltage is all that matters.

I guess I will go back into simsmith, set the load on the tank back to 5MΩ or so, then play with the tap point looking at bandwidth (tank loading) and overall tank voltage only.

this thing is getting built this weekend whether it works or not lol
