Yup, that was me. I used #26 enamel wire to form a complete loop around the ceiling molding. The best configuration was with the loop shorted and a single wire running down the corner of the room to the radio. You'll also need a ground counterpoise wire -- I used about 16' of wire laid around the edge of the walls, at the baseboard. Everything is held in place with push-pins, which I color-matched to the paint in the room.

Am I guessing correctly that a similar arrangement would work with the K2?

What were the room dimensions, or are they not that critical?

thanks
