I think you'd get better results by adding another fixed antenna and 
some dedicated tuners (one HDHR) than using a mechanical contraption to 
realign for various transmitters. My experience is that tuning antenna 
placement for multiple transmitters works well most of the time but 
adding another antenna and tuner(s) for specific situation makes life 
easier. Besides this would complicate getting simultaneous recordings 
from transmitters that require different settings.
