Separate receiving antennae?

This is something that Spike has recommended, so perhaps a
couple of loops at the bottom of the garden well away from
the noise-inducing consumer electronics in this row of houses.
When I, with the right moral fibre to get something that
I wanted, took the Morse test at Portishead (Highbridge)
Radio in 1983, and then had a guided tour of the station,
the operators had a 32-position rotary switch to select
one of many receiving aerials pointed to all corners
of the globe.
I wonder if these would have been Wullenwebers / Elephant Cages,
or somewhere a field of rhombics.
What's the recommendation for remote RX antennae, loops or a single whip?
Why a whip?
Why not something fully directional?
Since you are a pi fan like me
Andy, you're mistaken; Gareth's a pie fan.
