[VHFcontesting] [VHF] HD Chimney Bracket

[kb8u vhf]

For that kind of wind loading, you need a tower.  Your chimney will break 
off in 50 mph winds otherwise.  Concrete is strong under compression but 
weak under tension.  Anything bigger than a TV antenna on a chimney is 
asking for trouble.

Go here, type in chimney and do some reading if you aren't convinced:
