Of course, a few acres of land won't hurt either.  Manu's antenna installation rivals that of many AM medium wave broadcast towers in the United States, namely, he has a full 1/4 stick (177-ft/53.96 meters), a complete 120-radial ground system using 40 meters/131.2 feet of wire for each radial, and a sturdy loading coil.  With a little top loading, Manu could also work 630 meters (472 kHz-479 kHz), depending on licensing requirements.
