What Two Bands would you pick for a K1?
My first thoughts are 40 and 15, but I'm curious as to what others would pick.
Thank you.

It all depends upon your operating preferences, times to get on the air,

This is an impossible question to answer because there are SO many variables
that are based strictly on personal preferences.
Many more on physical parameters (location, antenna availability, etc.) and
even some on time (of day or, as in solar cycle ).
As a start, make a list of all the possibil
I agree with Paul. I have a K1-4 (40-30-20-15) I bought in about 2005. Our
current position in the solar cycle says 20M for daytime and either 30 or 40

luck on 30m with QRP than on 40m over the years. I have never mad

I do a lot of QRP, especially in DX contests. I wouldn't dream of
hanging out on "a QRP frequency," and I never sign /QRP. If I get into a

There are only six bands that Elecraft supports with KFL1-2 band parts: 80m,
40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m. Some have customized their own boards for other
bands, notably 160m and 10m.
When I built a K1 in 2000, only two-
I have a K1 built sometime ago with filter boards for all of the bands. The
4-band is 15,20,30,40 A 2-band for 80,17; another for 12,10. 75% of the time
mine is used on 20M, the balance split between 30 and 40.
IMHO one of the bands should be 20M. As the sun declines toward minimum,

I agree with 40 and 30. Much better luck having done QRP portable for
years.

At this point in the solar cycle, we are already seeing the MUF drop below both
40 and 80 meters at night. Of course that is in the winter time,
and things should get a bit better as we get closer to summer. Still, for the
near future the higher bands won’t be very effective. During the

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, e
