Spot on Hans - flue gasses can be quite acidic!  Especially as the moisture
content in the flue gas starts to condense at ambient temperature (dew point
of most flue gas is well above ambient temperatures)

Think about it, that chimney is connected to a wood burning stow. I guess
wood gives off acid as well.

I have no idea what is generated burning store-bought duraflame fire logs. I
know that, brunt "wrong" generate a lot of chemical compounds, creosote
being one of them. I still wouldn't recommend putting anything near a
chimney. I know what my TV antenna looked like after a few years next to (on
top) of my chimney.
Not a pretty picture.

Suppose the only thing
burned are those store-bought duraflame fire logs?

The biggest problem is corrosion. Any oil burner generate a small, but
significant amount of acid that will corrode your tower, antenna, rotor,
etc. faster than away from the chimney. I have not seen any problems with
soot.

I have limited options for placing my 40' tower and tribander at my QTH.

One of

them is next to the 2 story house very near the 33' chimney.
Am wondering if
anyone has experience...soot affecting rotor or antenna parts?
