Hi Lee,
Something that I have used in the pass was a PL259
fitted with a 6-32 (I think that was the size) brass
threaded rod or a long screw with the head removed.
Solder it to the center pin, close off the ground
holes with tape and fill the body with epoxy. This
leaves you with a threaded portion to attach any type
of wire. You can either use a hose clamp or solder a
wire to the end of the shell for ground.
The only problem I can see is a lot of RF floating
around in the shack. I think you'd be better off
running coax of the shack to the long wire and attach
your counterpoise at that junction.
I'd still like to have a remote version of the KAT100
ala SGC...
Good luck!
