[Elecraft] Question about vertical and radial placement

Some of you saw the post I made about mounting a vertical on a roof, and what
to do about the "radials" situation. I didn't think the post had been
"accepted" yet, so I deleted it and planned on reposting it a bit
differently after reading a little more and realizing that the radials would
need to be more carefully tuned and sloped. This would be difficult for me
to pull off to say the least.

I did get an excellent suggestion to check out the diamond CP6A.
Unfortunately this antenna is discontinued. There is a 6-40m CP5H, however,
which may be a good option! Even if the bandwidth on 40m isn't great, that's
ok, as I failed to mention that I'm 90% CW, 9% PSK, and 1% SSB. Low power
also - 15w or so. I should probably also check out the other available
antennas that don't "require" radials.
