How about a J-Pole? Low angle radiation. The bottom end can be connected to
earth ground. In fact, I constructed one using a mast with the 1/4 wave
parallel section added 1/2 wave below the top. Real easy. No radials.
thats also an option..i wonder if'n I'll need radials with a vertical dipole??

Hi Steve,
The lower dipole element IS(ARE) the radial(s).
You can follow my former instructions and simply make the upper
portion 5/8ths wavelength (if you have the room). If this makes it
too long (too close to ground) you will need radials. But for 10M
that is getting a little carried away if you can hoist a vertical
dipole.
