[Elecraft] Connecting a long wire antenna to the K2 with the KAT2 tuner

[Don Wilhelm]

Mark,

While that might work, remember that the counterpoise(s) are a part of 
the antenna, and not a "ground".  It is better to use a BNC to binding 
post adapter and connect the counterpoise to the black binding post - no 
dependency on conductivity through the enclosure.
The BNC jack shells do not have a dependable low resistance path to the 
GND post.
