If you have a mobile screwdriver antenna, get some Buddipole/DX Engineering
ALUMINUM extension shafts and do something like this temporarily:

page)

FYI, when I worked a VU long path from home while testing on 40m during
daylight hours with 100w, I decided the 'Farallon Special' worked well
enough. It worked even better when ultimately used near salt water . both
on SouthEast Farallon Island and Revillagigedo Island in Alaska :^)
Of course you can use full size radials and install for permanent later use
with a 'regular' (vertical) antenna.
FWIW & 73.
