Vic,

If that were my situation, I would put up 2 inverted vees - at right angles to each other. Each fed with ladderline.

A pole as high as you can manage right in the middle, and a pole in the each corner of the larger building. Arranged that way, you have room for 2 44 foot doublets (even if you have to fold the ends down a bit). The advantage of the 44 foot length is that it can be used for 40 through 10 meters with the only lobes broadside to the radiator.

To operate on 80 meters, lay 4 or more wires (more is better) on the roof and use them as a counterpoise and tie the feeders together to produce a top loaded vertical - it may even work on 160.

The small rectangle on top is a small building (10'x20') on top of the roof of the 10-story apartment building. Actually, it will be my bedroom (and, I think, shack). The larger rectangle is the roof area at my disposal. It is about 10' x 30' plus the areas at the side of the building. The rest of my apartment is below the roof.
