I've used an end fed dipole (i.e. half wave wire) a lot. I'm currently using
an end fed 80 meter dipole in my fixed-station setup. Such an antenna
presents quite a high impedance at the end, of course. That impedance is
outside the range of the KX1, and probably the K2, although I haven't tried
it
My K1 with atu was just recently completed. Like you, I have plans for
portable ops.
So far, I have only ventured out into the back yard with various wires flung
over the trees, hung from the second floor balcony, etc.
The antenna showing the best promise is the classic end-fed half wave Zepp.
Geez!
Please excuse the major typo.
The twinlead is indeed a 1/4 wave - not 1/2 wave!!

The KAT2 ATU is an absolutely great accessory for the K2.
It will load darned near anything. You won't regret having it.
