I'm old school and don't get cable/satellite TV. I was using an old/big rooftop antenna, which had to come down for other reasons.
I bought a new smaller rooftop antenna that mounts via a bracket to a vertical surface. I *could* use the old long pole from my old antenna, but it would require mounting a new base on the roof and 3 new screwholes for eye brackets to secure the long pole with wires.
I'd prefer to screw the new bracket onto my brick chimney if it will be secure enough. The antenna isn't terribly heavy - maybe 10lbs max including the bracket.
Anyone have strong opinions on whether this is a bad idea - to screw into a brick chimney?
