Predator 10k help, advise needed

I just talked to someone 11 miles away and it was clear as a bell and he said he had me strong an clear on his end. In a week or 2 I might open my on channel shop. Just bring in several different shaft lengths and some zip ties I get u going. Pics to follow

 

I know it doesn't look the best but for what I'm working with here it's best I can do

 

Thanks for telling me this, cause it will save me money if I just raise what I got vs buying predator whole antenna and shaft

 

No I haven't hooked up my amp yet

 

I'm Useing galaxy 99v2 radio turned up so it is pushing some watts

 

Na it's probably pushing 60
