Next bit of advice is one you are just gonna love! That ground rod is a fair start, but only a start with any kind of random/long wire antenna. Adding radials to that ground is the next step. As much as you can get, danged near anywhere you can get it. When you've got as much metal in the ground as you have all the metal in the air, you're about half way done. That's not as much exaggeration as you might think, unfortunately. It WILL make a difference.
