The length has been increased to compensate for that.
From the Cushcraft Ad: A148-20T
2 Meter Hi-Lo Cross Yagi
Here’s the antenna that solves multi-mode problems!
Ten vertically polarized and ten horizontally polarized elements provide 11.1 dBi gain covering 144-148 MHz. The horizontal elements handle your CW and SSB needs, while the vertical elements cover FM.
Hardware is stainless steel. Separate coax feeds allow polarization changes. https://ameritron.cushcraftamateur.com/Product.php?productid=A148-20T
Over the years I have found antennas for 2m, 220Mhz, and 440Mhz. Each have been experimented with various results.
