I just got through picking up a ton of discontinued wire from my
local Home Depot, and was planning on building a "broomstick"
antenna like some I found described on the net.
I built one. I was quite disappointed after reading all the hype.
I get better reception from a wire run around the corners of my
bedroom ceiling.
I would not anticipate the broomstick antenna to be any different than
a metal tube or rod of similar dimensions.
Good comparison. A tightly wound broomstick would resemble a rod for
receiving purposes.
