The circumference was about 9 meters, and I used a resistor of 1 kOhm. Antenna could not be seen from the ground unless you knew it was there, and was a very good receiving antenna. So for people living in such places I strongly recommend it.

I took measurements, it be roughly 22 feet or 7 meters I hope that is enough to make it worthwhile. What do you think?

Well I got done designing the hardware to hold my stealth antenna. If anyone is interested in the 3D .STL file or just checking out the photo, the link is below.
