I thought bolting into a chimney was something of a no-no as well.

IMO it's a matter of 'if in doubt don't'.

Did they really have a 20' mast hanging off a pair of wire secured
brackets only a foot apart?

It certainly would be here with lime mortar. Perhaps the lashings above
and below help keep things together. ;-)

My large rotatable dish is chimney mounted with a heavy duty strap lashing
kit and seems ok. But on a quadruple chimney.

How ironic compared with his comments he

A strange site. Some good advice and a couple of nice looking jobs, but also
some nonsense, botchery and a bit scathing about log periodic aerials.

Firstly there are 4 bolts although the one does appear to be missing
and yes you are right I forgot to tape the f connector, but then it is
solid cable, not air spaced. The house is surrounded by high trees,
there was no option but to put it on the chimney, so you never forget
to tape a plug, you never under any circumstances bolt a dish to a
chimney, well I wish I was as f**king perfect as you! How about
getting a life instead of nit picking at others, I guarantee all my
work, I honour every single guarantee, promptly, recalls are rare but
I bet even you mr perfect get one or two? Up yours!

Well log periodic do have their uses but they're not good for weak signal
areas.

Unfortunately some people spend a lot of time slagging others off
in this group. Bill often goes on about going out to correct aerial
installations and how a lot of people are cowboys. What he has NEVER
done is name any company he claims have corrected work for. Not
once has he said anything about work installed by other companies
because they would sue him. I don't believe how perfect Bill is either,
he sounds like he wants everyone to think he is. We are all still
waiting for the many names of companies that have installed unsuitable
equipment that Bill has charged to "correct". I think it will be funny to
see someone we all know about on ROGUE TRADERS! Let's see
how perfect those claiming to be really are.
One day Bill, you will upset the wrong people.
