Stan, I went with the smaller range. As you pick up speed, you will find yourself migrating to the lower portion of the band. Once you hit 20wpm, a couple of 8 wpm QSO's will use up all of your alloted shack time ( I assume your married). SOTA usually is not above .061 so your ok there. I have not

When I built my K1 I built it for 150 KHz tuning. I wanted more band coverage. It tuned too fast. So I changed it to about 100 KHz. And now I have it set to the STRONGLY ADVISED setting. It is wonderful to have a rig that you can open up and try some wild idea that you have. Some pics and info on
