given the complexity of rotators in general, rigging up two crossed

Don't even need the switch.. Just feed the crossed dipoles
with a single coax line and off to the races.

Truly. I just hung 40m from 80m wire with some spreaders. If I had more
wire I would add a couple more at 80m just for bandwidth.

I doubt that 6 and 10 meter cause any interaction with a common feed. At
that size a rotatable dipole is easily made with mobile whips. A rotatable
dipole takes advantage of the deep nulls.

A dipole with 120 degrees included angle is just a droopy dipole. An
inverted V with 90 degrees included angle or less has a combination of
vertical and horizontal components to its radiation and is more
omnidirectional. More so with a metal supporting mast.
