Default 10m - 40m non resonant vertical

Dear group,

As a temporarily solution I would like to use a cheap 5/8, 6/8 or 7/8 WL
commercially available CB antenna as a non resonant vertical with elevated
radials for use on 10 - 40 meters tuned by an automatic remote ATU at the
base of the antenna. I used MMANA and EZNEC (demo) to calculate the expected
impedance for the frequency range and found too many results for the height
of the antenna. Now I am confused about what to select.
Is 5/8WL on 10meters a good height or 8 meter (22')?
What I want is a low take off angle on 20 and 30 meters with high efficiency
and an impedance which my remote ATU can handle.

Fred, PA0FVH
