You almost have the ZS6BKW antenna. 45' on each side, 40' of 450 ohm window line and a 1:1 balun would make the best match. Don't even think about using a 4:1 balun! http://www.nonstopsystems.com/radio/ZS6BKW-2.pdf There are still a few bands that might be a problem with the auto tuner in the K3. I've found this to be a good general purpose antenna.
