My RG Log


 

Thought I'd post my low-tech RG logging setup (see image attached)...

I pre-print my TX list then cross off each code group after transmitting it. I write the group I copy from the other op next to my transmitted group and scribble SWL intercept groups on the empty part of the sheet. After the event I type all of the copied groups into an email text.

Hi Ed,

I got the Bunnell Model W sideswiper on ebay a couple of years ago.
Haven't seen any there in recent months. When there are they usually go
for quite a few bux.

It's my favorite key but not everyone has a similar opinion of them. I
admit, it did take a while to get used to. But the key and I have
arrived at a mutual understanding, haha...

Maybe somebody who has one collecting dust on the shelf would be willing
to part with it, but mine has a busy season ahead.

I also print off my 5L groups, and cross them off as I go.? I write down call signs on a separate sheet of paper, to keep track of who is on.? I also print out the list of folks who signed up for a particular event.

As for 5L groups copied, one per line in note pad -- I don't trust my handwriting.

I use a spiral bound notebook as the initial log. I write down call signs when convenient or having trouble decoding. Later, because this RG doesn¡¯t require callsigns or SKCC numbers, I add these qsos into SKCCLogger as an ¡°A¡± call sign then ¡°Tab¡± then ?¡°F5¡± then enter the 5L group then hit ¡°Enter¡±. This gives me a log of all groups decoded as the Comment: field. ?Then I send it on to Drew as an .adi file. ?Works for me as I send left handed and write right handed.?

I wrote a program that simulates writing down a callsign then a RandomGram code.
After using the RandomGram code once a program routine deletes that RandomGram code.

There is also?, which I was introduced to by Jeff N0MII.? Pretty basic, and will auto fill times if you tell it to.

Me, I like paper.
