I built my K1 when it was still possible to get the 4-band module which for me, covers 40, 30, 20 & 15. As I would like to have 80m also to work my Norwegian hams, I built a 2-band board with 80 & 20. 20m is a band that's normally always open some part of the day and a band you can use for dx, even qrp. I would suggest 20m as one of the bands and 80, 40 or 30 for the other one. 40m is a very crowdy band which makes it difficult for qrp.
