When I was stuck running my Imax2K for a while, I added ~60° downward 1/4 wave radials/ counterpoise made from 6/20 guywire and saw a surprising improvement on a friend's 11m internet meter at ~12 miles. The Imax was right at 40' at the tip of the mast. It acted more like a metal 5/8 with the addition of the four-9' guy wire counterpoise radials.

I used parachute cord from the ends of the 1/4 wave guy wires down to the tie points on the roof.

YMMV !!
