Yes, a large antenna into a small volume.
In 1956 the VLF transmitter on 25.8 KHz at Marion MA
was sending make and break RTTY at 60 wpm.  I first
copied it at Andrews AFB, then at various places in Alaska.
The antenna was a multi-turn square loop about a meter on
a side.  Just set it on the ground, or snow, with the loop in
the plane of the incoming signal.  The loop was built by Hinge,
a Canadian company.   It was, I suppose, the best for the
north country, and smaller than a Beverage for that frequency.
