I think that only an azimuthal equidistant projection (and therefore centered on only one location) would give straight lines to any reporter's location. Polar - per se - wouldn't do the trick.
So maybe Jim took a reasonable guess as to that location, did an az equi and any resulting errors are minimal. Dunno. I'm just taking an educated guess.
