 That is 6-6.5 dB over a dipole.  And you believe the little A3
 on a 14 ft boom might have the same gain in 20M?   NO  WAY.
 
 A FULL SIZE 3L20 on a 14 ft boom MIGHT achieve 7-7.5 dBi
 or 5-5.5 dB over a dipole (with NO traps).   See the W2PV
 Yagi Design Book, Chapter 2, for graphs of 3L Yagi gains
 vs element tuning and boom length. >>

I use the A-3 antennnas for 'spray' antennas to supplement my stacks.  They 
are nice little antennas, but there is no way they can even come close my KT 
34XA much less mono banders.
