That was fun! I watched this one early in the morning and it was almost like spending time in the woods. This time I learned the Q-codes when you switch from one band to another and the one to check if the band is in use. It was funny that near the end you could tell you didn't want to leave. Thanks for the video, Thomas.
One of your KX1 videos originally inspired me to do cw. I swore if I could get my hands on one that I'd learn morse. Got it last fall and have done dozens of activations with it since. A year later and I'm addicted to portable radios...too many to count or at least acknowledge...lol. Thanks, Thomas and 72 de AI4TB.
Thanks for sharing, Thomas…I was in the same parking lot 2 days ago….Didnt have my rig with me but had my drone…Had lots of fun…Looking to activate a park in WV this weekend…73’s, Randall. WB4BBF
I don't know if elecraft sent him a test unit prior to all of us knowing about the KH1 but Wayne said in the Coffee and Ham Radios stream last night that they shipped out review units this week
I f you know you’ll be working both 20 and 40 today with the AX1, can you set out and connect both counterpoise wires or do they somehow interfere with each other??
I hope you noticed that your first log entry time is 19xx, couple of 17xx, then they all switched to 14xx. Minor mistakes, we will all forgive you such trifles ;) de KA8VLW, Ken, Michigan

That is almost always true. I hate to leave the field. :)

Now this warms my heart, OM! Thank you for sharing. The KX1 is a gem of a radio! Cheers & 72, Thomas (K4SWL)
Welcome to the club. Cute little QRP rigs are an addiction
Ive had that same SOG knife for years... Called the SOG Kilowatt. Great stripper tool.

Those Opinel knives are great! After watching this, I want to try the Gabil 3750 antenna on 40m, even though it’s really short!
I absolutely LOVE Opinels!
So when do you get the new Elecraft KH1. I’m looking forward to your review/use.
I love opinels! What number were those? I generally edc number 7s
Fall is my favorite season! What is the radio's name?
When you will show the KH1?
