I appreciate the advice I received from both of you (Teleview and GroundUrMast).
I have changed my plan to something more feasible. I decided not to mount the antenna to the chimney. I went to Lowes and Home Depot today. The grounding wire alone would cost me $240 to make the run. I will instead mount the antenna on the south side of the house gable.
I noticed that the grounding rod that the cable company installed is only connected to their coax and not to the mains that is only a foot away from their plastic box.
Thank you guys for helping me choose an antenna. Sorry that the ground war (get it hehe) seems to be taking over the thread.
With that said, I ran into radio shack today. They had a HBU22 but no 11 in the store. I almost got it just because it would have been convenient but decided to hold off for an opinion. Otherwise, I will be ordering the 11 Monday.
