I am no antenna and RF specialist, but I am skeptical about this.
Combining the input of two antennas who listen to the same frequency
just by plugging them together is a recipe for a disaster. Some
wifi-cards allow multiple antennas for diversity, but that is
something different.

At worst, you might receive a good signal on both antennas and they
disrupt each other enough that you don't get anything.
