I have a broomstick up in my attic feeding a dx394 in the basement. It works
OK, much better than the 20ft of wire on the whip (inside). Got a 100' wire
antenna Im going to put up this spring.

You just made yourself the equivalent of a Hamstick. There's some
frequency out there at which it's going to work like gangbusters! At
that frequency it should outperform your other antennas. But as you get
away from that frequency, whatever it is, it will be worse than a
straight wire antenna.

Don't leave them in suspense Carl. Tell them what that very narrow
frequency is OK.

Only if his other antennas are equally bad.
