You can give it some more height with some more coax length. You don't need to put it on the top of the hill; but higher in the air would be better.

Did you check it with a SWR meter to see if it was tuned correctly?

The length of that loop is already tuned correctly for your radio as it is right now. That loop is exactly 1 wave length @ the 11 meter/CB band. If you made the loop twice the size it is now, then it would no longer be tuned for the 11 meter/CB band. Put it twice as high instead. Now, that is a plan . . .
