Yeah, I have a very similar set up and happy to send you mine. I am just trying to get mine back on the air after storm damage. If I recall correctly, I have a 12' cross pole with a horizontally polarized yagis at each end, each, 20' boom's one 12 ele 144mhzx and the other 17 ele 440. 2 inch aluminum mast and Yaesu 5500 powering it. I had a 1.2 ghz dish sitting right in the center. Photos attached to the following e-mail.

Hello group,
I am planning to install a Yaesu G 5500 rotator with two cross pole yagis for UHF and VHF on a 2.5 mts 43 mm Poly-proplene solid rod to have a minimum droop and seperation. Also intended to use Orbitron with Labjack U12 & piggyback combo. Could some one tell me whether this combo would work and the boom length is sufficient. Though I have gone through some basic information about rotator installation, suggestions and guidelines from experienced people would be of great help and useful to me to incorporate before taking up the work. Could some one help me out ! Thanks in advance.
Mani, VU2WMY
