Yes John
A 2 metre sq loop or larger preferably optimised for the freq of interest is
a good bet or a resonated long wire for LF/MF.
Pocket size antennas are fine for BC reception but for weak amateur CW
signals somewhat suspect.

Ben,
On receive it is the SNR that matters. It is a good idea to have a loop
(preferably rotatable) as well as a long wire, so you can choose which gives
better reception.
I have found a 2x 2 metre air-cored loop very effective for receive on 137.
