Hello,
The station you are proposing is just the same station I have! Maybe it's not the best installation but I really think it is worthy. :-)
I can work the satellites up to the horizon and I feel I can usually be the first to enter and the last to leave the pass ...
I am happy with my station. Maybe the antennas are not enough for EME ... :-) but I am using the smallest antennas!

I'd really like to upgrade my attic mounted antennas for satellite work. (Completely hooked on the birds at this point!)
I have a tripod rotor system that I can dedicate to nothing but a 2 Meter and 432 antenna, preamps, and AZ/EL rotor. Among the antennas that I've been looking at are the Wimo X-Quad antennas with phasing harnesses.

Just wondering if other satellite operators have used these antennas, and what your experience has been like? Is there another antenna system that I should consider instead? Outside mounting is impossible due to HOA, and antenna length is a factor too.
