I am wanting to put my antenna in the attic and run the wire from it to my basement. Any advice?

Ok so I didn't put my antenna in the attic, but on the roof. Its a Radio Shack antenna. The 25.00 small antenna. Not the Discone but the next version down. Its about 25-30 ft in the air mounted to a vent pipe on my roof. I ran the wire down the roof, down the house and in next to the dryer vent.
To make a long story short ---that antenna is attached to my desktop scanner in the basement. I have a portable scanner also in the basement with a cheap dipole that I bought on ebay---and they seem to be picking up the same amount of traffic. The portable scanner antenna is just hanging off a nail in the basement. Whats the deal?
Again the roof antenna is approx. 25 feet above the basement. I dont understand how they can be picking up the same when one is 25 feet above the other and one is underground.
Gotcha covered guys, no more static on the line.
