Excellent 2M Base Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Agreeing with the previous reviews, the G6-144 is an excellent antenna. I prefer this one over the G7 because it is more rigid. It has a large #10 AWG wound coil at the base and can handle high power and not create duplex noise (ideal for repeater operation).. On mine, I removed the factory radials (3/8" tube) and replaced them with solid stainless steel rods. Wind vibration and oscillations will break aluminum tubing where solid rods will hold up! Still, I give the G6-144 a five star rating.

Good performer Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had this antenna up for a little over a year now. It has done very well in standing up to the strong ( 60 MPH + at iems) winds that we get here in Kansas. I have good luck in getting into several of the repeaters that are several (40+) miles away with my Icom V-8000 and the antenna at about 60 ft. My previous antenna only did marginal in getting into machines that I now commonly use, with all else being the same but the antenna. The 6 Dbi gain does help.

Great Base Antenna Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This antenna is the little brother to the G7-144 and they both are great antennas.
This G6 is built rugged to last a long time and it is only 9.9 feet long.
I have used both of these antennas for many years with on problems of any kind.
I am in an area that has high winds in the winter and this antenna holds up to it great.
I would recommend this antenna to any one looking for a rugged base antenna that has good performance.
