KH1 Internal Logging on the Built-in Display
My experience viewing the KH1 internal log on the built-in display vs. a computer. While it's much more difficult scrolling through the log without a computer, it's possible to review your log for call signs, time stamps and band information. Internal logging is a useful feature that I plan to use on a regular basis.

Activating a state forest with my mobile HF station on a Sunday morning before church. I had some problems with engine noise and sloppy CW sending, but it was a successful activation! 00:00 Intro 01:19 On the Air 27:01 QRT 27:39 Lessons Learned
Begali Pearl Unboxing
มุมมอง 268หลายเดือนก่อน
Unboxing my new Begali Pearl. I recorded this video back in 2022 and uploaded it to this channel in 2024. 4:57 That "clear plastic piece" is actually a dust cover for the paddles. 7:05 That paddle is not moving because Begali intentionally closes the contacts to prevent maladjustment during shipping. The left paddle must have come loose during transit.

I tried activating US-4954 but the POTA website's spotting feature wasn't working. What a difference it makes when you can't spot yourself!
Chinese website sells these for 25 cents shipped 😂😂😅
Didn't know that.
No idea what this was or why the algorithm recommended it. Knew it was a switch for something though. Finding out it’s for sending Morse code really made it cool. I had the alphabet and numbers memorized when I was a kid in Boy Scouts back in the late 60’s. Bummer is, I couldn’t get any of my friends interested in learning it so I could only talk to myself. (I still do that) But it’s neat that ham radio operators are still using Morse code. Very cool. Thanks.

Cool!
Frankly, i never thought how those pads worked. How they can do cw so "easily". Now i continue wondering that.

I think your video its so amazing!... I saw a pair of wires on a little piece of wood!, what is that 😊 So cool your video
That's so cool!! Thank you so much for sharing!!😁you rock! 🤘
My dad was into ham radios when I was a kid. When you did the code for CQ, a lot of memories flooded back.
Gee, would you like me to tell you about my new shovel? it's not a Spear and Jackson which I really desired but the Spear and Jackson didn't come with a fibreglass handle, they only had models with wooden handles which break over time, so I settled for a Trojan shovel, it's not as light as I would like but the blade has extra large turn overs which helps with the digging, the handle has a nice red top which doesn't really help the efficiency of the shovel but it's nice to look at, the handle also has markings which tell you how deep you're digging, I know you're all enthralled with the description of my new shovel and I'll keep you all informed as to the performance of the tool, now to something just as exciting, My new garden fork .......... Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Fantastic. I made my 1st one in 1970 😊
Great!
Thank you for this video! I'm still awaiting the arrival of my KH1 - how exciting! I am also in NH ~ W1RCY
You’ll love the KH1! I’m on my way home from Hamvention and I got to talk to Wayne Burdick about the rig. Thanks for watching :-)
73 is BEST WISHES 88 is HUGS & KISSES 10-100 is BATHROOM and many more codes. I didn't memorize them all, but mainly the most prevalent. Thank you for your DIY CODE KEY. It's very innovative!
Scheisse gelabere. Ich weiss nicht was eine Papieklammer ist. Ein Schalter oder eine Morsetaste für Steinzeitbewohner. Hauptsache ein Video für Gehirnamputierte drehen und Geld abzocken.
A 5 minute video explaining what is blatantly obvious with the still imqge .
Great job thanks for sharing your story
This reminds me of a telegraph system. Didn’t they use Morse Code too? Anyway really interesting.
Чë за хуйня?

Люди стали забывать старика Морзе😑
J'ai crû que c'était un piège à souris 😂

Brilliant! I've been using a 'bulldog' paddle with binder clips I got somewhere and wanted to recreate it but this is absolutely great! Thanks for sharing. de WD8BDN/6 73's
Были сомнения , но когда услышал , - ямб...73!!!
Nice!!!73!!!
100 %. I grew up in a house that had a "ham shack" in the basement and it took me a few minutes to clue in. Ham = amateur, specifically amateur radio operator in this context. CW = continuous wave, a non-modulated transmission scheme commonly used for Morse code, in which the carrier frequency is turned on and off in pulses. Paddle keyers are an alternative to the classic single switch "telegraph style" input device for sending the short / long (dot / dash) carrier bursts that encode characters. BTW I took a crack at learning Morse myself but at the time I was more interested in playing keyboards in a rock band to pick up girls. (It worked!) Now that this is decades in the rear-view, I might just consider having another go at it.
Very nice (McGiver) Build Project thinking outside of the Box.👍👍😎
Some Amped up geek stuff here for sure
Can someone explain what it’s plugged into on the other end? And how is someone else hearing it? It’s cool and I’m curious about this.
It's plugged into an electronic keyer. This is the device that generates dots when I pushed the left paddle and dashes when I pushed the right one. When I filmed the video I had the power on my radio turned down to zero so no one could hear it except for me. Turn the power up and you can be heard all over the world.
First what the hell are cw paddles for or do?
They're for sending Morse Code 03:09
Very cool, both simple and effective!
I've been an EE for 35+ years and I became a ham about 7 years ago. I haven't learned Morse yet, but I definitely want to. Naturally, I've had my eye on various commercially-manufactured CW keys and paddles. So seeing this little homemade set of paddles just blows my mind! Brilliant! Ingenious! Bravo! 73 de W3TEK!
I bought a paddle but only the dits side seems to work. I can't get dahs.
Check the manual for your transceiver and see if there's anything in the rig's settings that could be causing this. Also make sure you have the correct type of plug on the cable from your paddles (It should be a 3 conductor plug).
That's great job man! Many people think internet and digital communcation are a holly bibble. Actually they aren't. Especial when you have not enough power supply such as marine working,sailing,nature diaster or in war. Morse Code can be a simple but useful expression by many kind of way such as light, sounds and marking etc....Morse Code most common use example is 3 short 3 long 3 short. Less is more!
Great idea for a workshop build for scouts. Thanks for sharing!
It’s killing me to know what he plugged it into and how it works.
It's plugged into an electronic keyer. This is the device that generates dots when I pushed the left paddle and dashes when I pushed the right one.
@@N1JI-CW Oh, so it’s not necessarily a computer. I’m guessing the keyer would be plugged into a HAM radio.

The average TH-cam viewer has no idea that a "CW Paddle" is a ham radio item, used for sending Morse code.
With the wave of kids wanting to learn Morse code, this will prove to be invaluable. Next week: Used Motor Oil. To more affordably create smoke signals.
Got this video displayed in my recommendations, was curious - and actually not as surprised as some other random viewers. Well, I'm an electrical engineer who had a neighbor in his youth who was an amateur radio operator. This was decades ago, but some things just stick … 👍
How do the two paddles work compared to a single key to send Morse code. ? One repeats dots (short beeps) and the other repeats dashes (long beeps) . ? And you hold the paddle the duration to send the desired number of dots and dashes?
That's right. It's pretty easy to get the hang of it.
Bet your fun at parties
I looked it up but geez, you can't take 3 seconds to say what they are?
Great idea! One important caveat: Make sure you're not using galvanized paperclips. The zinc with electrical current will turn into a thin layer of zinc oxide, which is an insulator, and you really don't need much juice to get problems with reliability. The golden paperclips might work better. Or the chrome ones. Just make sure it isn't zinc.
It would have been a lot more useful if you had shown the electronics that actually generates the long and short pulses.
I had no clue there was “auto beep” when holding the clip in contact. I always thought you had to manually make the beeps duration.
The original morse code paddle required you to manually set the duration and sequence. The device shown here drives an electronic unit that creates the dots and dashes in the correct duration semi-automatically.
. . . I have no idea what this is or how it improves my life
