Yea they did make it a bit short didn't they. In theory impedance should match assuming you are not right near an edge of the tuning ring to begin with on your current setup. At worse you would need to increase the size of the ring a bit and perhaps the length of the radials an inch or two.

Mind you as I said I haven't done this myself it is all speculation. I could see me playing with one but if it takes more then adjusting the tap for tuning then I doubt the gains would be worth the effort.

You would also have to separately purchase the longer aluminum, which is not very cheap. Would likely cost near as much if not more than the antenna to begin with...
