Years ago before we had Thermo pane glass and just one thin piece of glassin
the window to "shoot through", I solved my problem the simple "no holes"
way.  I cut 4 pieces of aluminum foil, each 1 sq. ft., taped two of them on
the inside of the window and two of them on the outside of the window.  The
side by side spacing was about one inch.  Then I attached the openwire
inside the house to the inside pair and outside the house to the outside
pair.  I used them as huge capacitors and shot through them no problem,
running about 700w (input).

Unfortunately that doesn't work anymore with modern windows.  The gap is too
wide.
