[Repeater-Builder] Hustler G6-440

[Jeff Corkren]

ok thanks everybody for your comments regarding the Hustler antenna.  I was under the impression that DB no longer manufactured antennas in the ham band. It pleases me to find out that they still do. I'm using a Super Stationmaster (ham band version) at the 600 ft level for receive. I was hoping to purchase a good quality but more economical antenna to use for transmit. A second Super Stationmaster or a DB420 would be nice but big $.    While we are talking about the DB420 series antennas >>>  What is the mechanical difference in the commercial and ham antenna ? I know that the harness is different. Anything else ? I have a perfect condition DB420 (450-470 mhz) available which receives good at 446.700 Mhz but doesn't match very well to my repeater transmitter at 441.700 Mhz. What can I do (if anything) to make this antenna perform better on the ham frequency ? If I can improve the match then I'll just use it on the repeater.  Thanks !   Jeff Corkren/W5PPB Raymond, MS                 ******************************************************************************************************************* 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.
