Hello Hart,
The Force 12 Sigma 5 is small and needs no radials . The DX-77 vertical needs no radials  or just a few short ones and works well.

You have plenty of room for a push up pole and a yagi so dont rule it out.  A roof mount and a mast would work easily and you would
not just make do but have a serious antenna. That would hold a three to five element beam with some guys. I think Adelphi(?) sells
mounts but there are ads in QST and CQ for various roof  and tripod mounts.

Icom makes an AH-4 tuner. I use a 102 inch whip in the car with this and work around the world from the car. The AH-4 matches the
whip and short antennas to the rig.

There are a variety of tunable Screwdriver antennas that will work on all bands ( High Sierra and Tarheel. High Sierra makes a
rotatable dipole utilizing two Screwdrivers. And dont forget about the dependable Hustler resonators! Pro Am sells mounts to make
rotatable dipoles out of their monoband mobile antennas.

Plenty of ways to do it. Look in CQ and QST. The ARRL Handbook has ideas too!

house, and the roof is only 12 X 25 if even that. I have the local kids every once in awhile climbing up on the roof, so a wire is
out of the question. I want to get back into HF, but there is no sence in me buying a rig if I can't put some sort of antenna up. I
was thinking along the lines of a butternut, or cushcraft but there is no room for the ground plane kits.I would like to build my if
I could, here in canada I'm looking at over 500 bucks to buy one of these antennas.  Anyone got any ideas for my situtation? Please
