DXCCCreditManager.jpg' alt='Ham Radio Contest Logging Programs' title='Ham Radio Contest Logging Programs' />Keeping a Log. There are two essentials types of information that every log needs Information about your operation and information about the station you contact. For your operation record the date, frequency, mode and power output for the contact station record their call sign, the time the contact started and ended, their signal report, name and location QTH. When you enter the date and time, Universal Coordinated Time UTC or Zulu as it is commonly called, is highly recommended. LOGGING PROGRAMS NOTICE The following is a compilation of URLs found on search engines and news groups. The Author makes no endorsement nor has any pecuniary. All Sweepstakes logs must be submitted within FIVE 5 days after each contest weekend as follows CW deadline is November 11, 2017. Phone deadline is November 25, 2017. EasyPal appears to be a great way to manage and transfer computer images via SSB in the HF bands. Using UTC eliminates confusion over time zones or daylight saving time, but you must remember to change the date at 0. Z, which could be anywhere from 4 PM to 7 PM local standard time for a North American station. This is an advantage of the computerized logging programs. Amateur Radio document library, antennas, schematics, homebrewing, connections. They keep UTC date and time straight automatically. Of course, you are free to use local time as long as you indicate this clearly in the log. It is unwise to mix UTC and local times and dates together in the log use one or the other. Non essential information that is worth recording is your signal report and that of the contact. You might also want to note comments about the contacts rig, antenna and quality of their CW, if pertinent. For an interesting contact, you can include notes about your conversation or a QSLing route many DX and DXpedition stations cannot be QSLed directly but must be QSLed through a QSL bureau or manager. It is also useful to note in the log when you send a QSL and if you receive it. A month after the contact, when you cant remember if you sent a card to that rare DXpedition that wont happen again for 1. If logging manually during a contest, it is impractical to record the start and end times for each station so these log areas can be used for contest exchange information.
