For VLF and LF receiving, wind some wire around a ferrite rod. Place the
rod vertically and feed at the bottom with coax. Of course there would have
to be a good ground connection.


Would there be any advantage of this compared to a short vertical antenna?


Yes, yes, I know...'everbody' uses loop antennas for VLF.

Wouldn't it be easier to use it horizontally as a conventional loop to
eliminate the ground and take advantage of the peak/null characteristics?
