I am wondering if a mobile antenna (2m/70cm) with a mag mount stuck to the flashing on top of my chimney would work. The flashing is 2-1/2' x 4'. Would that provide enough ground plane if the antenna was placed in 1' x 1' from the corner? The furnace vent is in the center. Thanks
 

Sure, it will work. How well is the question. I have heard of many hams who mount a mag mount to a pizza pan or an air conditioner unit and get out just fine. I know it will be a lot better than an ht, and many use them exclusively with no problems. Give it a try.

    Is it possible to be on a lake and have a homing directional beam being emitted from the shore so a person could navigate to that beam's source? For example at night to a jetty.
