I started off with the 2 G6-440 my self. It lasted about a year before
the SWR started flying thru the roof and the second about 7 months after
that. Pattern was ok while it lasted. Go for DB products and save
yourself from headaches later.
Good Luck

Good morning Jeff and the group,
I have not had the best of luck
with the Hustler G-6 why do you
not look into something like the
DB-404 if you need a lower end
antenna. It will hold up nice. Or
a mid priced DB-408 more gain
just a bit higher in price. Or for some
real gain the DB-420 all will do better
then the G-6 and all will last a whole
lot longer. Plus real gain and much
better built. I would research the
commercial antennas before spending
money for a Ham grade repeater antenna.
This has been my findings over the years.
Before any one un knowingly says they do not
make them for 440 WRONG! A suppler has
to buy them 50 at a time then stock them till
we buy them (we being us Hams.). So yes
some suppliers do stock and sell the DB-404,
408 and yes even the 420.
Good luck!
Very best of 73,
Russ, W3CH

Does anyone have experience using the Hustler G6-440 UHF antenna for
repeater use ? The antenna will be mounted at the 500 ft level on a
broadcast tower and must be capable of withstanding this sometimes
violent environment. An upper antenna support cannot be used due to the
distance from the tower to the edge of the platform where the antenna
will be mounted. Thanks for your reply.
