That would be a first ...

How would you know, you appear to know nothing about anything, all you do is
assume geoff is correct which is a big mistake on anyone part.
I think you, geoff aand drivel are the same person.


BTW, I've had a 2m folded dipole on a chimney for ~15 years, using a
standard TV lashing kit without any issues (at least relating to the
mounting - the UV hasn't been kind to the plastic parts of the aerial.)

Well if you go into the car park at the doctors surgery at #6 High Street,
West Bromwich you can have a look at the now horizontally polarised vertical
whip aerial that's fallen down in the winds.
That one is a bit bigger at about 5m in length and still has the guy lines
attached.
The pole broke before the chimney which is probably the prefered failure
mode.

A falling aerial does a lot less damage than a falling chimney most of the
time.
You don't want a pole that will pull the chimney down before breaking which
nobody appears to have told the OP.
