Hi

Small antennas (all antennas at 100 KHz are small) are not a matter of wavelengths of wire in the air. They are a matter of making do with what you have. Efficiency is more a matter of coil loss (or equivalent) than of antenna size.

I'll freely grant that a 600' tower over a really good ground plane (like say the sea) is going to be way more efficient than anything I'd come up with. The same thing would apply to a matching network made of coils you can stand up inside compared to anything I'd make.
