For acceptable results you need a REAL antenna. I notice that antennas in
use in the UK are useless for weak signal reception. Only one stn in the UK
can decode my signal.
For MF using the proverbial joy stick antennas are like using a match stick
dipped in water

Subject: LF: Variation in my Rx signal reports on LF
If anyone noting my signal reports, WSPR in particular, is puzzled by
large variations, this is because I am switching between aerials. Best
results are on the main Tx aerial into my R5000 but, failing a suitable
giant relay, I have to use experimental systems instead. Thanks to
GW0NOS in particular I am able to compare results.
The latest aerial is a long ferrite rod with high-gain amplifier, end on
loss is about 10dB. Due soon is a vertical strip in a tube, I understand
height must be the main factor with these.
