[Hallicrafters] 40 m antenna used on 80 m - what to expect?

[W4AWM at aol.com]

Back in my novice days, I had limited antenna space in my yard but the 
neighbor next door had a huge manure pile which he kept full as part of his 
landscaping business. He said I could play with antennas there, but he didn't want to 
see any wires. I used insulated wire and buried the antenna in the manure 
pile. It unbelievably got RF out but I kept getting reports of crappy signals.
