Do you propose to mount the 70cm yagi on the same mast below the 2 meter Omni?
Is there a ground buss running around the room? Or is there just one main buss close to where the cable enters the room? Want to keep the ground from the outside coax shield and the polyphaser as short as possible.

Both the roof and the equipment room can be reached by elevator and one flight of stairs ... no expensive tower climbers needed.  We will be moving the 2M repeater to the hospital as an experiment once the antenna and coax is installed.
