I want to get a simple omnidirectional antenna in the air. Part of the
issue is that I have heard hairy stories about attaching the antennas to
the chimney. Problem is that I live in a rowhome. The front and rear is
stucco. Really the only thing to attach it to is the chimney...

I can drill into the stucco in the rear of the house, I guess... but
would like to get some ideas?

I am thinking something for 440/1.2G. But that's just the beginning
(since it's the smallest, I am figuring). Additionally, whatever the
mechanics of what I put up, it - the mounts - should be able to support
larger antennas for the lower bands for the future.

Any ideas would be helpful. I kinda want to do this right to save myself
pains of structural damage to the house 10 years down the road.

A metal mast (like from Home Depot or Lowes) for TV antennas, and
three guy wires.
