It's like ancient chinese woodblock printing!

Great work, guys!

Wow! It's a wonderful world is Morse code I see you just using the side tone Which means it's not going out over the air this is so useful for CW practise for sending purposes. Making your own tapes up for Morse practise later and to pick out any mistakes, etc. Home tuning year Morse code best 73s de G0HDA

I am here for this prime radio-cat content!

Russ K4QPR: I don't remember which video but Di showed her ARA paddle on which she put a cover to make it more ergonomic. What is she using, because my paddle is a little small for my big hands. I love the paddle. Thanks for making it.

Nice video!! Wow! ...does the CFT1's sidetone really sound that bad? With the loud thump? Or was the it the audio lasp up for recording audio for video! Me hopes! Compared to Mark's KX2 sidetone assuming that's what Mark was using his KX2 sidetone sounded GREAT!

I squee for horned lizards.

Hey, thanks for the kitty treats link!

It's kinda ironic because of all the common SOTA chasers I have worked on my CFT1, F4WBN is probably the only one I haven't worked. Maybe my timing is just bad. Hopefully I'll have better luck when I travel to NC during thanksgiving! I am glad you guys like the CFT1 and it's an honor to see the praise the radio is getting!

Cool video Mark!!!

Hey Mark - Love the tee-shirt! Great activation! I am really enjoying my CFT1 also.

Ara, saw you on SOTA Watch but you were way down in mu local noise level. I figured I wouldn't be able to hear you answer. Was able to catch Mr. Ham Ninja Chris. N1CLC though Looks like you two had a great activation and hike

Very helpful CW QSO video..

The cat seems nonplussed :-D

I'm about 3/4th of the way through building the Big Brother of these radios, the QMX+. I am SO grateful that my cat Hime does NOT want to "help" me the way Ormoo is helping out here 😀 I do sort of wish I could take her out on POTA activations, though (she is NOT interested in leaving the house at all!)

Such a useful lesson. Thank you!

I really kind of love it when people at a park ask me what the heck I'm up to. I consider it one of the small prices to pay, being an ambassador for the hobby.

Cool video Mark!!!

VERY nice setup - congratulations!

LOL when will the tiny tiny paddles be available again?

Incredible hike, great activation, and I love all the wildflowers.

K4qpr here, I love the cat so calm and secure. I hope for more Di vids to watch her progress.

We combine radio with birdwatching. It's easy to pull out my KX2 and AX1 and make a couple of POTA contacts while my wife is scanning the trees.

What's the kitty treat? I'll bet our cats would like that. I like how you have the decoded CW in the closed captions (which I leave turned off). I dislike having them as a crawl at the bottom because I don't need them and it's distracting, but I understand how many want them and use them for practice. AWESOME LOCATION!

Really enjoying your videos! 73 de VE3YT

Hello Di and Mark. Di, I wish I'd known about this event and tried to work you. Great job on using CW and building a QCX Mini. I'm a male over 60, so I'm in that big group of hams, but it's great to see young people getting excited about SOTA and POTA, and other operating activities. CW is the best! You have a cute cat. Mine would never wear a harness that long. Let me tell you something about the old CW guys who are now in our 60s, 70s, 80s. We all started on CW, with transmitters we built from scratch using tubes, or maybe a Heathkit, and put up some simple wire antenna, then worked people from our parents' basements. We had that same excitement with every contact as you had making Qs from the summit. Those of us who have never lost our love of CW see a kindred spirit in you, and wish you well. Best 73, Vic VE3YT.

K4qpr here. What is origin of this project?

9:06 *perks up* DId someone say, "Balvenie"? :-D

My ankles are twisting just WATCHING this.

Your kit is my dream set up at the moment! Hoping I can get into something like it in the next year. For now, I’ll continue to enjoy the lovely videos.

Fun video! Thanks for sharing!

Great video! QLF, lol. The summits out there look amazing. Tnx fer sharing. 73 de N4AAJ

Mark, thanks for the video. I have been wanting to experiment with some FT8 on my KX2. I seem to be having one problem however. Everything seems to work only if I unplug the jack going into the phones plug so the audio from the KX2 comes from the speaker. With this configuration the iPhone app decodes and will transmit via the MIC input. I have made one qso confirming it works this way. But when I plug the mic cable into the PHONES port of the kx2, the iPhone stops decoding. I'm wondering if this could be an iphone setting, a kx2 setting or perhaps a bad cable? Wondering if you might have any incite. BTW: Thanks for all the SOTA contacts. You are in my log at least 20 times.

Hey Mark, awesome video!!! Ever since you took me up to Mount Pinos Summit I’ve been wanting to do more summits. Thanks for making videos like this, you and Adam K6ARK make videos like this and while watching them it’s like we are there with you guys!!! 73, Mark!!!

Great job from new subscriber N3EIE. Love the piano outro too!

Beautiful cat and wow, what a fantastic view.

What’s radio?

Love the cat!

So neat! Great idea. Maybe we'll get you in the logs to get one someday. 73 Mike N4FFF es Becky N4BKY

I am a cat lover and relatively newbie for CW, well below the 60 yrs old average you mentioned… I found your channel by chance, looking for CW. I believe the cat gives you a resonance that is boosting your signals. HI HI Greetings from the other side of the ocean.

Congratulations de KQ3Q

In case this helps others... I tried the suggested cables and have been having mixed results as most of the time the iphone (or ipad) does not get the audio from the cable but rather from their own internal mic... It does work sometimes though.... To rule out a possible bad cable I ordered this one which already has integrated the male connector and so far this new one has been working out all the time. It may be a bad cable situation... not sure. www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMHRKBNG

I have one of these vans and would like to sell the equipment unless I am able to use it for HAM communication.

I bought one of those vans and have no clue what to do with the equipment on it.

Thanks for all your help on mt pinos!

Congratulations on getting licensed and on your first SOTA activation! Great to see more women getting involved in the ham radio hobby. You will undoubtedly inspire others as well!

Informative and beneficial video
