[Elecraft] K1 band selection -Friendly opinions

[Bill Gerth]

Carl,
15 and 17 have very similar propagation characteristics although 17 is open
more right now as we are still in the low part of the sunspot cycle.  As the
sunspots return, you'll find 15 will be extremely active during contest
week-ends while 17 is a "contest-free" zone.  Just depends upon what you
plan to do with your K1.  The good news is that your K1 is a great radio on
either band!

A brand new K1 is awaiting my soldering iron.

For the past week I've been agonizing over band selection

15 meters or 17 meters?


What's yer guess folks?  Which band will be best when the sunspots return?
