I don´t expect anything however it´s totally wrong calling that
antenna a 204BA, it´s something else but no 204BA, it´s a "former"
204BA.

Surely you don't expect a 4 element on a 26 foot boom to be competition
for a 4 element SteppIR on a 32 or 34 foot , do you? I was just
leveling the playing field by taking the boom from a 205BA and taking
away one of the directors.
The day that some company comes out with an antenna that can vary the
length of the elements and change spacings between the elements, then I
will consider buying one,

That's easy to do. Take a 5 element 205BA, remove one of the directors,
run the YO antenna modeling program using the 34 foot boom and, viola,
you have a 4 element beam on a 34 foot boom.

The HyGain 204BA has a 26 ft boom, the 205BA has a 34 ft boom.
Tell us more about your 204BA on a 34 ft boom?

After spending all that money for a SteppIr antenna, nobody's gonna
call
their kid ugly. I am putting up a 4 element HyGain 204BA on a 34 foot
boom.
Can't wait to find me a horse race with a SteppIr!
