If the 50 uV signal generator indicates a signal level of around S9 on
your K2, that is exactly how it should be.
Your length of wire in the room may not receive signals well, depending
on the type of materials used to build your house it could be shielding
signals by quite a few dBs. I would be tempted to run the wire out of a
window or door and out to a support, it doesn't need to be very high -
even at 6 feet high it should be picking up signals. During most of the
day you should be hearing plenty on 20m and 40m, after dark you would
need to move down in frequency as 20m will close.
