    Hi Alf

    main thing is get it 3-4mtr in the air for lower take-off angle if you are after DX,

    what modes you going to operate? digital, SSB, CW?

    you can get some 5/8 wavelength vertical which don’t have radials, or look at a vertical dipole with the centre at gutter height

    have a look at https://moonrakeronline.com/amateur-radio/ham-amateur-radio-antennas/29-mhz-10m–18-mhz-17m for ideas on antenna for 10m

    my 10m antenna is my fan dipole at 4m in the air and FT8/4 I get pretty much world wide with 40w
