Re: [amsat-bb] Chimney mount antenna mast

[Builderick@xxxxxxx]

Hey Rich
I wouldn't do it...
That is a bad choice.
THat back and forth motion will disassemble the fire place. Causing expence 
repairs 
I'd buy a cheap radio shack tripod. And mount it on the roof. Being sure to 
reinforce
the plywood with 2X4 cut tight between the rafters and using long bolts.
Silicon under the mounting brackets before tighting down.
A satellite antenna will have a long boom anding to the leverage and twisting 
motion.
A fire place while haveing vertial strength has very small side to side 
strength
