I am not a fan of compromise and I start to think the negatives of fast deploy (long fishing rod) elevated portable verticals for 10M are greater than I want to accept. That is fine though... you have to go through these things in the mind to see where your comfort/enjoyment lies with what you operate with.

You cannot have it all... convenience (fast/easy/practical to set up) and the best radiation pattern. Similar for a multi-band option (some the patterns suck ! ) verses top level single band performance.

I will have to go with a higher effort based solution to enjoy 10m...even if that means committing to the band before I go out on any mini expedition... no rush for that unless you enjoy E layer summer skip.
