Receive aerial efficiency doesn't matter. A loop will work well and my 22m long wire has picked up Polish LW in the past. But transmitting on LW I might only get 1 or 2W ERP with 1kW of drive. My short VHF whip on the car gives perfect R4 LW
here. It's far shorter than 75cm, being partly helical, but better than the shark fin or bee sting aerials on newer cars.
Sorry for being confusing.
