What would be a good affordable wire to wind a base loading coil from? It can't be too small diameter or the losses will be huge. That is the only part of the station that seems like a big undertaking. The rest of the components are low cost and easy to build.

Receiving what ? I am not totally convinced. Receiving a signal a few metres
away is not what I call a good performance.
A few hundred K/metres away on cw is what I expect and not QRS 20,000, where
it takes months to send a DOT.
It is easy to generate a 9 kcs signal and high power audio amplifiers are
plentiful to radiate several K/watts to a loaded inverted L 20 + metres
high.
This is the easiest band to set up, the only time consuming part is winding
a suitable loading coil.
Instead of going to Spain or Portugal for holidays I would suggest
discerning vlf operators stay at home and wind coils this year.
I am staying at home this year in case someone performs a MIRACLE and it
could be a German, English man is scared of  being heard using HIGH power.
I do not want to miss the FUN
