IIRC Dennis had a picture of his roof top antenna on one of his web pictorials so I figure you guys might have some experience with outdoor antennas. I've had a 10 foot mast with my outdoor antenna for almost 20 years without issue. Now I'm replacing with a new antenna as my reception has atrophied. I'm going to install a 20' telescoping mast, 2x10 foot sections. Channel master says anything over 10 feet should have guy wires. I'm using a Chimney strap mount that's been on my existing antenna which has never had guy wires as they haven't been needed. It's at the edge of the house so the standard 3 guy wires isn't possible. Given the first couple of feet of the mast are up against the chimney can I go the full 20 feet? I figure I might keep the mast set to 12 feet for starters and see how the reception is but I'm curious if anyone has any experience in this area. Heck if it falls it will probably hit the neighbors house anyways. ;-(
