[Elecraft] Antenna suggestions for K1 w/KAT1

Looking for good portable antenna to use with K1 w/KAT1. 40/30/20/15 meters.
I'm trying the 85' end fed wire w/33' counterpoise now.  Running the wire
right into a BNC to UHF adapter center hole and clipping the counterpoise to
the shell.  The tuner seems fine with this setup as others have indicated.

Has anyone tried about 33' of coax with the end-fed wire connected to the
center wire and the shield left open at the end.  That's my next experiment.

Any other options or ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,
