would be perfect. It is a wood and viynle chimney, not brick. It is
not used. (No fires or gas logs.)
Would it be two much to mount a mast and two antennas on this?
I sometimes get high winds in the summer during thunder storms.
Assuming that the UHF yagi is a single yagi and not a big, rotatable
array
you shouldn't have any problems with wind loading. Just use a
wrap-around
chimney mount and a 10 foot mast. You can even get these at *ugh*
RadioShark.

Even with two antennas on it? The two meter also? I have to soemhowe
keep these antennas at least 6 feet apart too.
