I agree that on the roof with resonant radials or on the ground with a lot
of radials will both work well.
Another affirmative roof mount vote. I put up a 1/4 vertical for 17M on my
roof to work the Swains Island DX-pedition. Pretty much a 30 minute BY fire
drill when I saw a spot and had no other antenna... It included 5 1/4 wave
radials tacked to the roof. Got Swains and just about everything else I've
heard
on 17 since then. 40 meters might require a bit more care than I put into
the installation.
Good luck... there is always a way to get out...
