Notes |
VHF contacts (the last two examples) are
usually not logged, but are shown here since this frequency may be used fory
your contact. |
|
|
|
Including notes in the log is not required, but
makes it fun when looking back to remember things about the other operator. |
|
|
|
|
|
Some operators do not log the time off. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some operators keep their logs on computers. |
