No!
I have made room for you to think for yourself
I wrote this explanation over 10 years ago, and nothing has changed
I have not touched my antenna for many years.
REMEMBER!
A long E-Field antenna gives you lots of signal, but also more noise.
The most important thing here is to keep this antenna as far away as possible from power lines, electric fences, lawn mowers with buried control cables, etc..
With a very long antenna you can get signals around the globe, but that is NOT what we want. We want a clean signal.
H-Field Antenna.
I have experimented a lot over the years, and have, among other things, very large loops in the attic. They are now used for ULF and VLF signals instead.
5-6 years ago (maybe more) I did an experiment with loop and E-field connected together. I got busy with other things, and the experiment just went on. Once the plastic bucket fell down, and I put it back up. It still works fine.
H-Antennas are for electromagnetic signals, and by their nature not so sensitive to E-fields. They don't have to be placed high, as long as they are far away from electric motors and old lawnmowers etc.
Ferrite antennas are best when they are shielded - There are some pictures somewhere with ribbon cable or brass or copper foil or any metal tube (slotted)
.... so just do some experiments to see what's best in your case.
