Wideband Antennas

[CHANGE USERNAME TO westes]

Will a wideband aviation antenna, that receives across 50 MHz up to over
1000 Mhz, be useful for VHF and UHF TV reception as well as aviation
frequency reception?

Can such an antenna be used by multiple devices listening to different
frequencies at the same time?

Will somebody explain to me what this has to do with r.a.IFR? r.a.homebuilt
perhaps.

Probably their best guess at an appropriate newsgroup. One of the amateur
radio newsgroups might be more help, e.g. rec.radio.amateur.antenna

Useful, yes. Optimum, no.
