Spent 4 hours building a 134cm VLF antenna yesterday - it was going to be 2m in size but then I realised I couldn't get it through the door of the house! (So it shrank).
Mind you, the increase in quality of reception at 134cm wide antenna vs 70cm antenna is enormous - as if i stuck a massive amplifier and filter at the masthead!
Sometimes, size does matter. . .
