Wouldn't the difference be directly proportional to the relative permeability? If so, the difference would be more like 125, not 10, depending on core material.

If you make the antenna about 10x bigger you can omit the whole ferrite. 
The only benefit of a ferrite loaded coil is the size of it!
In ancient time radios had flat air coils like spider webs. In fact they 
are named after spiders in german.
This air coil can be resonated too!

I can imagine a resonated vertical antenna. Never seen that but all it 
requires is a low impedance pre-amp stage and a loading coil of very high Q.
