" the 10 foot limit would include the "ground connection" wire, if used."

A trick used by commercial LPAM and FM manufacturers that falls well within
the FCC rules is to mount the transmitter in a metal box bolted to a
grounded tower as high as 200'.  The tower is the ground and it is brought
to the transmitter, hence, no "ground connection" to take into
consideration.

Basic commercial LPAM systems use a 102" stainless steel CB whip antenna
with a base load wound on about 2" PVC attached directly to the top of the
transmitter box.  I have seen numerous sites describing the coil, how many
turns of what diameter wire on what size PVC, you should be able to find
something for your application on-line.
