I exploring the parts needed to construct this particular VLF Loop Stick
Antenna by Richard Q. Marris G2BZQ.  

I have uploaded the article to my DropBox Account here:

The project explains you should use 9.5mm (3/8") Diameter X 15cm (6") Length
Ferrite rods.  

The closest I have been able to find are 10mm (0.393") Diameter X 160mm
(6.299) Length.

Will it make much of a difference?

Thank You
