For shortwave reception I have a T2FD (tilted, terminated folded
dipole) and a 400 foot end-fed wire. The two go into a phaser/matcher
box before being distributed to the 5 receivers.

Other antennas include a bicone for V/UHF, a colinear for V/UHF ham
use, and a full-size vertical dipole on a CB that almost never gets
use.
