Does not make any difference the antennas on top or bottom.

The way it is usually done is the VHF antenna below the UHF antenna.

And is done this way because it 'looks better' to have the VHF antenna on the bottom.

Separate the 2 antennas on the same mast by about 3 feet.

Home Depot has 10 foot , 6 inch lengths of 1 and 3/8 inch diameter , TOP RAIL , chain link fence , PIPE , that makes good antenna mast pipe. Low cost at about 10 dollars.

To make the installation more stable , move the chimney straps further apart , one strap is below the other on the chimney.

Moving the straps further apart reduces the leverage force on the straps from mast from the antennas in the wind.

Guy wires will most likely not be required.

Install the antennas and watch the installation , guy wires can always be added at a later date.

Also 2 separate antenna mounts can be installed , the second antenna mount can be a , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html.

Use the , ronard(911) , 5 foot tripod antenna mount.

Or second set of chimney mount straps can be installed.
