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

[Sandy, W5TVW]

17 meters is only nice if you are NOT a contester.  More activity
is usually on 15 meters.
I tried 17 meters and quickly changed to 15 as more going on there
and you can use it for 15 meter QRP nets and contests.
Take your pick.

| I'm looking for advice/experince again.  I don't really work much on either 17
| or 15, so I would like some advice.  The best unsolicited advice has said:
| 
| 1) There is a lot of local activity (depending on your locality) on 17 on SSB. 
| Can the same be said about CW?
| 2) 15m is an excellent DX band when it is open.  Is it open often enough to
| justify dedicating 1/4 of the band capability of the K1-4 to?
