Thanks for the video! I am learning CW and hope to treat myself to the KH1 some day. What was your speed? I was able to copy much of what was sent.

I am experimenting with wpm at the minute so I was set at 16wpm, this is my normal activation speed. sometimes I’ll run at 18, and 20 when I’m feeling adventurous.
