Going way back to the original post, it seems to me that there is a simple answer:

The OP wants something that is very portable, that the KX2 will tune.

The whole balun discussion comes from trying to match a near-infinite impedance, and chopping the wire down a bit (or making it longer) is going to bring it to an impedance that the tuner can match.

Lotta folks doing that.
