I do have a a small tin of that "antenna wax" around somewhere. Maybe I
should dig it up and put it on ebay

You can increase the velocity factor (and shorten the antenna) by using
a good grade of Carnuba automobile wax to make the antenna slipperyer,
which (because of skin effect) allows the signal to accelerate faster.
