Thank you to all (Jim, Bob, David & WW4T) who commented on the antenna.
I will look at it again, but I think that makes sense.
OK, On to plan B :-)

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Vertical???
Sounds like an antenna Specialists 11 meter cb antenna. You can shorten the
vertical element a few inches and it will tune the 10 meter band. Dont try
more than 100 watts though. the coil in the base cant take a lot of power.
If it is still in good condition it will work 10 decently
I think they called this a m118 or something like that. Very popular for
cbers in the 60s and 70s
