Default Is it my antenna or just normal shortwave activity?

I have been trying to listen to broadcast stations on my Sony
ICF-7600GR radio. I want to hear radio habana cuba, but I swear, the
sound will go in an out, low to where you can't hear it, then
blasting, then low again, it will not ever stay stable to the point
where I can sit there and just listen to it. I don't have any external
antenna yet, I can't put on on the roof or in an attic since I don't
own this house nor have any attic or basement. Do I just need a better
antenna or do I just have to live with the fading or whatever this is
called?


Yeah, I don't mind the not being able to hear all the time, I kinda
like that, it's just hard to listen with it randomly blasting
sometimes, because I have to be careful in my area with noise.
