Gain difference between mounting the HexTenna 15 feet vs 6 feet.
Spoiler alert: Moving the HexTenna from the 5 1/2 foot HD Tripod to a 15-foot mast increases your signal by half (1/2) an S-Unit.

Boom Doubler Option
Our boom doubler, which will be released later during this Summer of 2024, increases the length of the boom to 96 inches/2.46m. This is done by adding a supporting boom, which is called a ‘joiner’ under two 48 inch booms. Once the two booms are mounted on the joiner with included hardware, then a mast clamp is then affixed at the center of the joiner. This mast clamp will then affix to any standard 1.25 inch mast.

Q & A
5 feet is the minimum optimum height for mounting this above ground and optimum height is 1/4 wavelength. The difference between 5 feet and 20 feet was 1/2 an S-Unit per https://youtu.be/8EbLeiUxJuM
There is no upgrade path to the Yagi, as it has a different design, and the hubs are physically and pretty much permanently mounted on the boom.

Very well built antenna and guys at Alpha worked really hard to get it to me for a light house activation. Thanks!
The Yagi HexTenna was packaged extremely well and its build quality which was exceptional. We also purchased the Hextenna Dipole with the similar results. We are also strongly considering the 10m-40m, 100 Watt MagLoop. Steve (Owner) has been extremely interactive with our
many questions and we wouldn’t hesitate purchasing any product from Alpha Antenna.
Great antenna system, easy to setup, really versatile.
