RCA Q-103 tube ?
#19

Your welcome!
The 19 minute answer to your question can be found here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGijDgDFfgg
The am bc  band covers 500 to 200 meters that's in wave length. So to have a resonant ant at the bcb you are looking at about 1500 feet at 6ookc. Not many folks have that kind of real estate so most ant back in the day where erected on poles at the ends of the roof of your house maybe 60' long and up in the air 35'.
Then you have the feed wire running from ant down to the set maybe another 50' or so. On average about 100'.
