Heck, Brian, I was just going to suggest that you make some
substantional portion of your antennas out of long steel springs. You
could tie a rope to an end and change bands by simply letting out on the
rope and allowing the springs to compress, heh heh.

Yeah right, I really need rope-tuned Slinkys . . .

Don't give up! I've been reading some of the old ARRL Antenna
Handbooks. You're a mechanical guy. I see a chain drive going though a
wall, rigged to be aimed using the steering wheel from a '60 Impala.

I'm thinking we could rework that rope-tuned slinky idea into something
commerically marketable if we use steel cable and stepper motors. We
could call it the "Erstepp" or something like that.
