That's a nice analysis at the W4RNL site. It looks like the Hex 
Beam has a maximum gain of just over 3 dBd (just under 6 dBi), 
which is about what anyone should expect with a physically small 
antenna.

Of course receiving is not hampered by the reduced gain, since 
F/B and pattern are good. 3 dB is still decent gain, especially of 
you can rotate the antenna and get it up in the clear.
