Both these frequencies have a big disadvantage - they are right in the dx operating
frequency range.  Both 14020 and 14025 are commonly used by dxpeditions, and hence
the suggested frequencies will often be buried in pileups...

QRP K2s will likely be near the international QRP frequencies - ie 14060 - so perhaps
a frequency a few kHz lf of this would be appropriate (hf and you get close to the
data boys inching ever lower).  Now that we will soon have some QRO K2s these of
course should not be on the QRP frequency so perhaps a different and lower frequency
for those would be suitable.

Not a QRO man here, I will not be investing in a K2/100!
