Voyager 2007,

The are all good 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios
and function very well just using their Whip Antennas.
Plus they work fairly good using a 'short' Random
Wire Antenna about 30~40 Feet long.

OK - Let us verify that you already own these Radios ?
- - - In that case what we think is not important.

What you think of them is important -and- How
You Enjoy Listening to them is very important.

-IF- You already own these four 'portable' AM/FM
Shortwave Radios . . . the next step is an Outside
{External} Antenna to improve your ablity to hear
more Radio Broadcasters.

Then you may consider a Desk-Top Shortwave
Receiver with more advanced Shortwave Listener
(SWL) features.

like most hobbies - shortwave listening (swl) is a
progression of interest and involvement ~ RHF
