Thomas, this may not be the most appropriate video to leave this comment, but while I'm here..
I wanted to thank you for doing what you do. Your video have encouraged me to learn cw and get out portable. I had a stroke and following this found ssb to be very troublesome due to speach issues. I find digital modes to be a little boring for me and watching your videos inspired me to learn cw and get out there.
I joined LICW did their first couple of carousels and then went to CWops academy. Two week ago I did my first cw only pota activation and its exhilarating. I did my second yesterday sat on the beach. You gave me the drive to learn something new and make this hobby fun again. Thank you so much.
I will always be in your debt.

This makes my day, Sam. It pleases me to know end to know that I may have even played a small part in your CW journey.
I hope, someday, to work you across the pond, OM.
Thank you!

I lost my mom to cancer back in August. I couldn't listen to music. I could listen to CW, and so that's all I did in the car on the way back and forth from my house to my parent's during those last few weeks. It was brutal. Sometimes I would go to do an activation and find that I just wanted to walk in the woods, so that's what I did - and it was essential. You're on the right path, even when you think you aren't. Best of luck to you. AE9XT
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment. I'm still adjusting to her not being here.
Your videos have been my best "Elmer" as I've learned to do CW POTA activations over the past few months and I am very grateful.
May your mother's memory be a blessing for you and your family. 73 de AK6EP.
Thank you so much, OM.
Thomas, Love your videos as a learning experience while I am learning CW. Thank you for bringing us along on your life journey which now becomes integrated into ours. We are your legacy as you are your mother's. Your mother must have been very proud of you. Best wishes to you and yours. Long may you prosper. John KM6AHT
How kind of you, John. Thank you.
Your videos, and the ones from some others, are the reason I'm getting me back to CW. I ordered a KH1 to "force" me to do that and I hope will be delivered soon. I'm sure my future me, will be immensely grateful to you, more than I already am. Sorry about your mother. I've been reading your posts on QRPeer. I hope those comments help you feel better and know that you are doing a lot for many people. Thanks and keep on!
Thank you, Andrea.
My deepest condolences Thomas. I absolutely agree that radio is therapy.

Thank you, Kyle.
sincere condolences for your loss Thomas 🙏🏼 thoughts are with you, radio is great therapy, all the best Geoff
Thank you.
These KH-1 contacts are the kind that I originally thought the KH-1 could never do --- minimal antenna, and operating as a hunter rather than an activator. Impressive.
Agreed!
Deepest sympathy. I’m so sorry for your loss, Thomas. 73 Kevin KD9SPR
Thank you.
Sorry for your loss Thomas. Just went through it myself. Thanks for continuing your great videos!!!!
Thank you.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Great video hunting in the snow. It was the same way here on Saturday.
Thank you.
So sorry to hear about your mom, Thomas. It's tough but it gets better with time, although slowly. My dad's gone but mom remains. My sincerest sympathies to you and the entire family.
As for the "walk in the woods", you did great as did Hazel! We have about 6-8" here in SW Michigan and I'm inside! Tonight/tomorrow forecast is freezing rain and sleet, so maybe another day or three eating canned soup and frozen microwave dinners here.

Thomas, sorry for your loss and thank you again for the great videos. Your property looks perfect for a large antenna farm! Wire loop antennas in the trees would be killer and wouldn't be too visually impactful....just saying haha!
Thank you. And I actually have a massive horizontal loop at my QTH not even 75 meters from where I filmed this short video.
Sorry for your loss Thomas

Thank you. :)
Sorry for your loss. N7KHH
Thank you.
Hello very nice, but how do you manage for your looging ??? 73 qro HB9GUR
When hunting POTA there’s no need to log for participation as it’s the responsibility of the activator to upload their logs to the program. If a station log is wanted for record keeping, then in this situation he can pull it off the video after the fact. Also the KH-1 has an option to decode and record all the CW sent, this might be an option to process logs after the operating session concludes.
Howdy Sir - thots and prayer to you and ur family - VE7JYD
Thank you.
So sorry to hear of your sad loss, Thomas. Thinking of you at this difficult time. Tim G4XWJ/AG5YP
