Tom,
Whether or not this will work depends on the way your house is built and
where the shack is located:
Some guys will go in through a soffet or gable end of the house and
bring coax down to the shack, either directly into the room, or all
the way down to basement or crawl space, then up into the shack.
Maybe there is some sort of ventilation opening into attic or crawl
space that could be accessed.
Maybe flat, open wire line through the window. Either all the way to
the radio/tuner, or to a balun just inside the window with coax to
radio, or some Rube Goldberg setup of baluns on either side of the
window with open wire between.
Good luck, Steve KW3A
