[Moon-net] How to mount and feed a 2x 2MXP32?

[Bill Dzurilla]

Hi,

We will be using 2x 2MXP32 for the Swan Island
expedition and have a couple of questions:

1) Must the coax for each antenna be routed out behind
the reflector, or is it OK to run the coax along the
cross boom and configure the antennas in a X pattern,
so that each antenna will be at a 45 degree angle from
the coax?

2) Each antenna is 41' long and the cross boom is
180-190".  Will a Yaesu GT-5500 rotor be able to
handle this?  If not, any recommendations for a
suitable az-el rotor?  I think someone mentioned on
the reflector that the Yaesu can even handle a
well-balanced 4x.

Thanks and 73, Bill NZ5N
