I would agree and to think he "made the top" against all those monster

##  Roger,  here is how you rotate on 80-10m..from a tiny city lot. 
http://www.qsl.net/ve6wz/index.html    His UST HDX-589
is only 14 foot away from his property line !    Hence limiting
the boom of the 2 el 80m yagi to 28 ft.   Tower is shunt fed on 160m.
I heard Steve, VE6WZ working europeans  on 80m SSB like a machine
gun one night..just amazing.   His 2 el 40m yagi is on the same boom as the
80m array.   Cushcraft XM-240..   He tossed the 40m boom, and replaced
the 12 ga magnet wire coils  with .187 inch hb AL coils.  

##  Superb setup..and only one tower. 

Check it out.
