Replacing what appears to be very old RG58 coax with new RG-8X would likely help more than antenna placement. There’s a lot of signal loss using RG58 in a long run like a masthead antenna. And often some invisible corrosion after a few decades.
Good eye, that is RG58. :thumbup: I'm replacing it with LMR-240.
