Hi Mike,
For the unlicensed US lowfers, the main barrier to big TX antennas is rather significant:
FCC 15.207(b) "The total length of the transmission line, antenna, and ground lead (if used) shall not exceed 15 meters. "
Despite the lowfer urban myth, I'm afraid there are no exemptions for huge "non-radiating" horizontal sections in tees and loops, so the 15-meter rule leaves you somewhat limited.
Keep rooting for an LF ham band.
