One suggestion without knowing this radio: look for a "DX" switch somewhere--usually a slide switch (like on my little Sony SW receiver)--the settings are usually "DX" and "LOCAL". When listening to SW with the rod antenna only I can pick up plenty of stations--switch to DX, plenty of stations, switch to LOCAL very few. Try that.
Also, whether you like the programming or not try WWCR at 5.070 MHz from Nashville, TN. This is typically up here in New England a very strong signal. Also, of interest is 3.885 MHz a great frequency for listening to HAM Radio operators, especially at 5 am ES(D)T. During the night, anywhere from 6.0 to 7.5 MHz should give you a good selection of stations from around the world (literally).
I've had a SW Radio of some form since I was a wee-lad in the early-1960s--great fun.
