Well, 40 channels should just be fine!

15 watts SSB should just be fine!

If you want more, get a ham license and be legal. It is illegal to
operate outside the 40 channels and have more that 15 watts.

The only legal method would be a good directional (beam) antenna on a high
tower.

Legally?

A bigger/higher antenna.. Many handlhelds have places to plug in an
external antenna.

Stand on a hill top to use it. grin

Sounds like the one stolen from my house in a home burglary 2 years ago.
Did you get the plastic case with it?
