Love it. Thanks for taking the time to make such a great video. I've had my KH1 for a couple of weeks and I am loving it. Neighbors probably think I'm crazy walking around the neighborhood with a 13' wire trailing behind me. But, I can hunt POTA while out getting some much-needed exercise. Thanks again. I know how much time it takes to create and edit a video like this. Much appreciated!!! - Cliff
Been a ham for 38 years but let my code slip so bad I forgot 1/3 of the letters … back up to about 10WPM now and this is the perfect rig for me… no fuss set up and I can do the right from my car… Just became a subscriber… thanks and keep the videos coming!
Great video and a very interesting little radio. Thank you for putting the CW subtitles on your videos. I'm struggling to learn CW, but seeing the conversation progress in a way that I can follow along really helps, especially with the abbreviations/shorthand y'all use.
It truly is. I am looking forward to a lot of opportunities to use it in the near future. I won't be giving up on the KX2 but this is great for getting on the air very quickly and having some fun.
Thanks for a very nice video and I love the camera mounted to your hat! It was nice being able to see the display on the KH1 so clearly. My KH1 has been shipped and it's supposed to arrive this week - Five months to the day since I ordered it. Could you share where you bought that silicone wire? Thanks.
What are your thoughts on the sound of the sidetone? It sounds a little warbly in the video. Also, can you comment on the side to side movement of the paddle? It appears to not be mounted very solidly. - W7TAO
The sidetone is fine in use. Does it sound as nice as my KX2? No but I don't find it objectionable. As for the lateral movement of the paddle, I don't have any issue with it. It seems to work just fine. I don't send particularly fast but those that try and send north of 30WPM might view it differently.

Thanks Cliff. Love your channel as well and appreciate the kudos from someone that knows the level of effort.

Good luck, It is a fun rig for sure. Embrace your inner QRPness.
Great video and a very interesting little radio.

Thanks, Don't give up on CW. It is a ton of fun and you can learn it. I am planning some beginner CW videos soon. Stay tuned.
Thank you this follow up video. What an amazing radio! I look forward to more videos with you and the KH1. 73

Thanks! I've seen several KH1 videos and they all were very positive. I'll put it on my wishlist :) de Ken, KA8VLW, Michigan
It is a great rig and cannot recommend it enough. It is going to be a ton of fun going forward.
Excellent effort Bob, Thanks for hearing me and maybe being your 1st KH1-to- KH1 (with my SN# ØØ7) 🐐72, Steve/wGØAT
thanks Steve. You were my first KH1 to KH1 contact. I immediately recognized your call. Cool to be hunted by SOTA legend.
@houseofham I’m a lefty. Can the logging tray be moved to the other side? Great video.
Yes the logging tray can be put on either side.
@@houseofhamradio Thank you!

Thanks for your kind words. I added a link to the wire on Amazon in the video description. I would add it here but they strip links out of comments.
Super video; thanks for bringing us along
Thanks, it is a ton of fun and certainly more to follow soon.

Nice video , tnx. Can you tell me the lenght of your conterpoise 20 and 40 m?? And where did you find the small winder tnx again 73 qro HB9GUR
The 20m counterpoise is 13’ don’t recall 40m but close to double that. The winder I made. I may put the STL up for download.
@@houseofhamradio tnx a lot for the stl, where can I found it. 73 qro HB9GUR
@@houseofhamradio yes it will be nice, where can I download it 73 qro HB9GUR
What does 72 mean?
72 is the QRP version of 73
I wonder how long it will take for people to realize this radio comes with a cellphone holder too 😊 73
LOL, I suppose it does. I would have to come up with a way to secure it to the tray.
Hey! I have that same counterpoise!
I know! It's really weird.
FB Bob enjoyed the video.
