Perry,


If the ashes are alkali, which it is, then would the acidic part go out with the smoke? Dumb question but the ash residue is not necessary any indicator what's in the smoke.

Actually strong alkali - remember water dripped through hard wood ash
makes
lye.  All us old pioneers know how to make lye soap! HI!

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?
