I think you would be better off using a different antenna. Gain of that antenna on 17.2 kHz will be much less than -100 dBi. I can't give you an exact number because EZNEC doesn't display numbers less than -100 dBi. That antenna passes the -100 dBi mark at about 100 kHz.

This seems to be a good starting point:
