I swear OH8OS used to MAKE his own band openings or 15 back in 65 when
I
used to work him from VE8ML. He had a huge quad, 15 elements, I
think,
pointed right in my direction.

You just about can. Even with just two elements on 10, I worked several
contacts from Houston that couldn't hear anyone else in the US. I
really loved that antenna.
