Re: [Repeater-Builder] Hustler G6-440

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   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Corkren To: Repeater Builder Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 3:53 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Hustler G6-440 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.
