When I was a kid just getting into radio I had a 4' fiberglass whip mounted to the outside of my window sill. My bedroom was on the second floor. It wasn't working very well. My buddy came over to check it out. He took another antenna that I had laying around and attached the antenna to the bottom of the mount pointing down. Wow! Now I was hearing everything. Not knowing much about how things work didn't realize what he did was essentially made a dipole. That setup work well for what it was.
