Sorry. I was clear enough with my description. I an not talking about Az/El rotation, but rotation of the antenna along its axis, as needed when using a hand-held antenna.
The bird is wobbling and changing orientation which has to be compensated for by twisting you wrist to get strongest signal. This is not available on a traditional Az/El configuration, but would be a nice improvement.
Just brainstorming......

If you are putting up a whole Az/El tracking deal, you'd probably want to consider circularly polarized antennas since that eliminates the need to have to flip polarity.
Are you thinking about for portable use with an Arrow-style dual-band crossed antenna? Because there it would be helpful.
