Contrary to some beliefs here, but those 3' like the Workman and Tram 1499 can work. The local range is terrible, but for longer stuff, it will get you out there. They need a 50' length of coax to use as a counterpoise, along with several snap on ferrites near the transceiver end. You'll also need a tuner. I'm a 3rd floor apartment dweller that has use of my fire escape and would normally use most anything else, but when it gets really windy or when the landlord is present, I need something not so obnoxious as a 31' pole holding a 28' Slim Jim. You might also check the Par EndFedz...they're mono band antennas but the wire is thin and fairly stealthy. A 10 meter version and a fiberglass push up pole, along with at least 25' of coax and some ferrites at the Tx end, can get you on 10.
