The RG-213 loss should be less than 3dB if I remember correctly, I think you're okay there. Did you twist the helix the right direction?

Hello
I built a 10 turn helix for 435 MHz.
I have 15 meters of RG-213.
Radio is an ICOM 706 mkii G
I am not getting strong signals like I would have expected ?
Can someone share their setups and signal strengths ?
Maybe a pre-amp might help ?
Am I getting too much loss in the cable ?
