David,
my experience is that 17 is a very fine band, cw as well as ssb.
I really like it because a lot of times, when 15 is not open, 17 is
going like gang busters; anytime 20 sounds good, try 17; its great; in
fact I bought the extra 2 bands for my 4 band K1, to add 80 and 17. If
one could add another band to the KX1, I would pick 17; its just a very
fine band in my opinion.
73 de W5SV, Dave

I'm looking for advice/experince again. I don't really work much on either 17
or 15, so I would like some advice. The best unsolicited advice has said:
1) There is a lot of local activity (depending on your locality) on 17 on SSB.
Can the same be said about CW?
2) 15m is an excellent DX band when it is open. Is it open often enough to
justify dedicating 1/4 of the band capability of the K1-4 to?
