If you uncovered 6.25cm (1/2 wave of 2.4Ghz = 300/2400 = 12.5cm per hertz ) of the center core of the antenna and placed it near (within 12" of the wireless antenna) then it might work, but only if the other end is connected directly to the device instead of the antenna..

2.4Ghz though will attenuate like crazy through simple co-ax ut at 30M might still be stronger than the broadcast signal at the same distance...

Just don't connect them up directly!!!! Otherwise you;ll end up with damaged equipment...
