If you decide to go to a bigger ground plane I have a suggestion.
Years ago I needed a quick and cheerful ground plane for a magnetic
base antenna and I found that auto drip trays made of galvalized steel
were available at quite low prices (Checker, Pep Boys, Autozone) and
work quite well. Mine resided on the patio roof on the El Tiro club
house for a while. Pehaps it's still there.
