The audio cable is a problem.

Why not just buy a 10 meter antenna?

I have an old mag mount RS CB antenna with a 24" (approx.) telescopic
whip. It is fitted with an integral audio cable (as the feedline)
terminating in (what else?) a male RCA jack that plugs into the CB's
antenna jack. The CB is rated at 5 watts FM.

The whip can be shortened quite a bit. Is there any reason it
wouldn't resonate on 10M?

Audio cable ain't RG-8/U, but is it enough to handle 30 watts FM on
10M?
