Any antenna no matter how poor can work DX. I worked 3B9C on Rodrigues Island on 20m from my 100 watt mobile with a crappy Hamstick mobile antenna and it was long path at the time,15,000 miles on a crappy antenna. I have also worked into South Africa from my mobile on 10m and worked mobile to mobile into Luxor Egypt. Better antennas do help but saying it cannot be done without the right antenna is just plain false as there is NO "right" antenna.
