OK, on that one you could mount a very nice long wire between the nose
and the top of the rudder! The aircraft is probably already certified
for just such a wire.

This might be terribly obvious (hopefully!) buta trailing wire with
a weight at the end going 100+ knots IAS is going to put quite on strain
on the K2 BNC connector ;) Might want to plan for that.

A trailing wire should exit the plane _behind_ the rudder and
elevators which is not an easy feat to accomplish. Then you should get
approval for the installation -- once again not all that easy.
A simple trailing wire might not be all that simple

A simple trailing wire is all you need if your K2 has the built in antenna
