One of my 20m antennas is a 4el OWA with the same boom length as the 5el
205BA. I see no reason to add an element unless you are going to double the
boom length. If you really like this antenna I would model it along with the
optimized 205BA suggestions on various websites or try your own optimization
so you can see the results. Another option would be to toss the hairpin and
turn it into a more modern OWA design.

I have bought a brand new Hy-Gain 205BA which had been sitting in a garage
for
the last years. It is packed as it was shipped.
Has someone on this list tried to optimize it and/or upgrade it to a 6
elements
yagi? I'm willing to extend the boom length to accommodate the 4th director.
Your comments and thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Luciano Gasparini PT9KK
