The sort of classic 600 meter antenna is the Marconi-T. It does require
ground radials. You can also use an Inv-L if you don't have room for
the "T". Either will have a very low radiation resistance at 630 meters
for the heights average hams can get, and you'll need a series capacitor
to tune out the reactance if you are going to transmit.
A better choice might be a magnetic loop, possibly with a preamp.

After the install of the new KSYN3A synthesizer board, I tried WSPR on 474.2
KHz, using double size G5RV for receive.
I am able to copy WG2XKA using WSPR, at 597 km.
I did some web searching for antennas, only thing I found were 160 ft
verticals, not an option for me.
Anyone know of a wire antenna or something easier to put up? thanks and 73
