[Elecraft] K1 tuning rate... is 150 kHz too wide?

[Art - W6KY]

SM0RVV, Erik has it right. Starting at 0.70 on 
most bands you are fighting the digital modes anyway.
I actually wouldn't mind a mod to make the total
spread variable. I am very rarely above 0.25 on
any of the bands. That way you could switch to
25kHz (example) total and have some real fine tuning.
......
Note:  North American QSO Party (NAQP) CW contest
this weekend. 12 hours totalstarting at 1800 UTC Sat.
Great chance to WAS in just a few hours. 
Lots of BIG stations listening for QRP sigs...
