[Antennas] Chimney mounts

[Larry McDavid]

There isn't any such thing as "rigid PVC." Put any load on a ten foot 
length of any common size PVC pipe and it will soon bend plastically.

I darned sure would not hang any thirty-foot lever arm on my chimney!

On the other hand, I do have an old good-size outdoor TV antenna on a 
mast three feet above my chimney. And, yes, it does receive digital TV 
signals just fine, some 60 of them in fact!
