The best thing to do is lop off that SO 239 and run the ladder line to your tuner. While you are at it add 15 feet of wire to both ends. Viola' you will have a 135' doublet!

This is the first time I've heard of that, anyone else?
Get ready to remove the chimney wreckage from your yard and repair your roof. This is probably the worst way to mount even a small antenna. If you lease or rent your home, prepare for a lawsuit. Just a warning. Allen
