This six mile radio says in the FCC specs that it puts out only less than
half a watt...am I reading that right?

Sure, .5 Watt Output, from hilltop to hilltop, can easily span 6 miles.
I have a Part15 Spread Spectrum 2.4Ghz Radio with 100mw Output that
carries 2 ea. T1 Spans (4 Mhz Bandwidth) 16 miles, with 25db Fade
Margins on the link. There are Path Calculation Programs that can
provide excellent information on this issue.
