Jorge, If your wire Yagi is not flat ( in other words inverted V type elements) it will not work as well as it would if flat. There would be a significant difference between the whole thing being fla

Ed, It would require a longer boom. 12 feet isn't long enough for 9 elements and you would not get any significant improvement, but certainly a better antenna can be designed using a longer boom. You

Another thought is to consider what is now permanent as "temporary" and just put the new level right under what is already there. Worst case scenario is you need a spare guy bracket assembly. Stan Se
