Great story.  Thanks for sharing it, Stan.  But I want to be sure I am reading it right.  The coax went into the fireplace, which had a fire burning in it at the time,  up the flue, and out in the attic where the doublet is?  I suppose that’s what’s called an end-fire array.  

I’d like to buy some of that coax.  Could you say what type it is, or was?

Ted, KN1CBR

    . . .  went down to the living room and 
    built a fire. But gosh, I really wanted to operate...
    
     So I brought my KX1 down to the living room. I stretched a 40 foot 
    length of {high loss} RG174 from my shack to the fireplace. I have a 67 
    foot bent up doublet in my attic managed by an SGC231 autocoupler and 
    that's where one end of the RG174 extension coax went. ?The other end 
    connected the antenna to my KX1 on AA batteries.
