Ok, lets assume that I'll erect a couple of PVC poles to string the
guy nylon rope and 43'-0" wire antenna between, say, about 10 feet off
the ground and free and clear of anything screwing up the signal.
Then what would be the best layout if in Dallas, TX? Lay it out North
to South as to best pick up the European county broadcasts, being that
it's more or less due east of my location?

It is not possible to give a useful answer to that question, since the RF
fields from the stations you want to hear are dramatically altered by the
surroundings (attic wiring, and any other conductive materials, even the
building materials). Installations of this type are strictly cut and try,
for this reason. Just moving the antenna a few feet can make remarkable
changes in the reception, and optimum for one station may well be bad for
another. Big antenna, high and in the clear is the only realistic answer to
your question.

Good luck anyway.
