[Elecraft] K1-4 last band (15/17) choice help

[David F. Reed]

David,

my experience is that 17 is a very fine band, cw as well as ssb.

I really like it because a lot of times, when 15 is not open, 17 is 
going like gang busters; anytime 20 sounds good, try 17; its great; in 
fact I bought the extra 2 bands for my 4 band K1, to add 80 and 17.  If 
one could add another band to the KX1, I would pick 17; its just a very 
fine band in my opinion.

73 de W5SV, Dave
