Janet,
I get fabulous results with a ~200' wire up about 25'
(actually, it has about a 15' vertical section on
either end, and some twists and turns), and four
counterpoises. I have a BNC-to-binding posts adapter,
with the longwire in the red side (but only while I'm
operating), and the counterpoises on the black. My K1
has 15-20-30-40, so my counterpoises are: two at about
16.5-17', and two at 33'. They're just run out along
the basebopards on the floor.
