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! 73, BILL, W4RK

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?
