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!
