If your near the east coast day or night you should get some SW stations on the internal antennas alone. Midwest night is best but day might get you something. West...I've never been west...
If you want to increase the hits/quality of reception on SW the best thing you can do is put up an outdoor longwire antenna. You just need 50-150' of wire two insulators between the wire and the support ropes, tie the ropes between your house roof and anything tall approx wire distance away, and a piece of wire between the ant and the radio. I had one in florida, and on a multistate SW Ham radio conversation I was listening to it made the difference between hearing a Chicago based ham with 1KW transmission power and missing his 1/3 of the conversation.
