Rick,
I'm in a single-story house and have health issues, my solution was to
keep the antennas low my M2 LEO Yagis/Rotators are only 8ft off the
ground and easy to manage and maintain
Maybe worth considering before going the eggbeater route.

This would make satellite operation more manageable for me, shorten my coax run and put me in a position of not having to find younger club members to help, and those are few and far between!
