Thanks for sharing. I made my first CW QS0 54 years ago and can’t wait to do what you just did on a mountain top next month with my own KH1 which is soon to arrive 73 VE6GK

I got to see the KH-1 at Pacificon. It's on my wish list, although it will be a while before I can afford one. Good to "see" you again, Steve!

Well done all, and you have the best Elmer!! .. 73

[@owlcricker-k7ulm]

Steve, at this point of your experience with the KH1, what is your preferred wire antenna? Or top two?

[@goathiker]

The 4-whip w/13' drag wire is pretty amazing but for 40/30 a 26' elevated over a tree limb works great too!

[@8231trosen]

what are the red knob covers shown at 1:32?

[@goathiker]

silicon pencil gripers (Walmart stationary/dept)...I've arthritis in my fingers and these really help turning small knobs!
