"It" is called a dipole. 'It" has already been done. There have been
extrememly long threads here for weeks discussing this design:
Rotatable 200M antennas that are half a meter wide!

According to the following IEEE paper:

http://www.ttr.com/TELSIKS2001-MASTER-1.pdf

A 75m 6" dia. 4 tpi Texas Bugcatcher coil has a
VF of around 0.024 on 1.9 MHz. A self-resonant
160m dipole made from such coil stock would be
only about 6 feet long.
