Whenever I'm not using the K4 for something in particular, I leave it parked at
14.060 MHz, with the AF gain just high enough to catch my attention if a signal
appears. I use a medium bandwidth (1 kHz) to allow for signals a bit
off-frequency.
For those who didn't know: this is the most common QRP CW watering hole. Even
if the rest of the band seems dead, you'll still hear weak-to-moderate signals
pop up near this frequency throughout the day. They'll often be calling CQ SOTA
or CQ POTA (Summits and Parks on-the-air).
If you hear these stations, please give them a call. The ops often put in a huge amount
of logistic effort to get to unique locations. Some do it every week, and some have
"bagged" hundreds of peaks. Some wear packs, some use goats :)
Given that these are QRP frequencies, it's common courtesy to use low power,
typically 5 or 10 watts.)
