Jim, Not a lot of experience with the G-6 except for one site. It did work OK, but we did replace it with a X-50NA this year, and it seemed to gain a little more coverage. We have had excellent results here in the NorthWest with the Diamond X-50NA antenna's. We have them on some pretty rugged sites and they work very good on UHF. We will snub the top of the antenna if they are on a site that gets a lot of wind or ice. We have them on sites that are 4000' and higher and they survive very well.
Like was said in an earlier post, lot of bang for your buck for a 100 dollar bill. HRO has been real good about having them in stock for us. Good Luck with your project.
