Log Book
(Designed by N6BT, updated 1/5/01)
Those of us who keep hand-written log
books will be interested in this format. After years of making
notes in the margins, on the back of the previous sheet, or
writing as small as possible to cram in more information, a new
log sheet format was developed. It is focused more on HF logging,
but can also be used effectively for VHF, UHF and satellite. The
actual log sheet is available below as a WORD file download,
about 25k in size (not very large). The entire, bound log book,
with additional radio material on the covers, will be available
soon.
Fields that are unique to this log sheet
include:
- Notes............areas at the top and
bottom of every sheet
- Frequency/Split/Satellite -> allows
more identification of the contact
- Report SENT/RCVD and Actual S-mtr ->
comparison between the S-mtr and sent reports for review,
such as when using a Beverage or other receiving antenna
- PATH/Bearing -> actual bearing (i.e. 60
degs) short path ("SP"), long path
("LP"), skew or E-skip, etc.
- WWV, Conditions, Antenna Used -> for
tracking conditions and future planning of expectedr
openings
- MODE/Pwr -> combined field
- Name - QTH - WX - Other - QSL -> for
noting various QSO information
- To download the straight .DOC file,
LEFT-CLICK here and, if prompted, specify a file location
where you want the file to be on your hard drive .
Hope you enjoy using this new log.
