Yep, what Reece said. The word "antenna" can describe anything from a 10 foot piece of speaker wire to an elaborate fan dipole or a preposterously long Beverage.
For your location, I'd run the wire in as close to SW-NE as possible, thereby presenting the antenna roughly broadside to signals coming over the Pacific as well as Europe's over-the-pole beams.
I don't know how much of a PITA it is to move around in your rafters but experiment. You'll find a sweet spot that feeds a good signal to the radio.
What kind of radio, by the way?
