Ah, just what I was after. Thanks for this little tidbit.
Without seeing a modern antenna in person, it's difficult to determine the clearance required for mounting on a chimney. I think the last one I saw up close was 40 years ago...and they were quite large. In my mind's eye, they are all still that large (and heavy) and require an equally large footprint. I think that's partly where my disconnect comes in.
In any case, I think I'm armed with enough info to make a reasonably education decision. Maybe I'll post some pics of the install.
thanks again.
