Yesterday I mentioned using the coax to my 2m big-wheel antenna on 80m. It worked remarkably well.
I came across this video on YouTube showing someone using a coat hanger antenna on 10m. As long as the antenna is properly matched to the rig with an ATU, you may be surprised.
If you do not have an antenna for a certain band do not give up. I am sure such compromise antennas would be down on a "proper" antenna, but do not be too surprised if it works quite effectively.
Some have used wires in their plastic guttering down-pipe or a flagpole. You may be amazed just how well such hidden antennas work.
