Hi Keith,

I, for one, would not want to do that.  If you could bring the line around 
somehow keeping it away from metal and the like you could then terminate it 
into a current balun just outside the point where it would come through the 
wall or window of the shack.  From there you could run a very short run of 
coax to the rig.

Good luck and very 73.
