Sorry, that will not work. Best solution would be to run a strait line from antenna to your receiver to take advantage of antenna. You may have to get up on the roof to adjust the antenna for best signal and lowest noise
Smokey, you not only get it wrong but you get it wrong twice. If you drive a voltage of the correct frequency into an antenna it will transmit that signal. This is just as true for millivolts as it is for kilovolts. There is just no difference between a transmitting antenna or a receiveing antenna. Using a passive antennna coupling is no different from using a transformer both will couple a signal through a gap. I have done this, it works. No it is not as good as a direct wire connection, it is lossier but not by that many dB.

How do you think those car cell phone through glass couplers work? And they work both ways, transmitting and receiving. People with radio transmitters usually use the same antenna to listen as they do to send, really all antennas work both ways, no magic.
