Is there an easy way for a novice to check an old antenna?

use it connected to a radio.
the most likely issue will be corrosion to the screw threads on the
base which increases the resistance.
the base and threads should be brass which will clean up quite nicely
with brasso and a toothbrush.

....now of course you do have a mental picture of the antenna that I'm
thinking of dont you...
