Default stormwise monster ferrite - worth it?

I want something simple to make.
I'm thinking of better antenna(s) for the RCA superradio and a couple
portable SW radios I have {-the RCA gets stations just fine, it mainly
needs fine-tuning help-}.

I did make a simple passive tuned loop for the SW out of a single turn
of copper grounding rod and a AM radio tuner cap. Worked much better
than the included antennas, but was 4 ft wide and not built real sturdy.

If I do loops I want these to be smaller, maybe 1.5 or 2ft across so I
can move them around and use them indoors easily.

There is also the 13.5" stormwise monster ferrite sticks. They would be
more compact than a loop, but for a small MW/SW recieving antenna, are
these going to receive significantly better?
