Logbook Keeping

  • A detailed logbook must be kept up to date at the amateur station, and made available for inspection at the request of ComReg.  The details to be included in the logbook are –
    1. dates of transmission
    2. the times (in UTC standard time), during each day of the first and last transmissions from the station and changes made to the frequency band, mode of emission or power
    3. frequency band of transmission
    4. mode of transmission
    5. power level (dBW or W)
    6. initial calls (“CQ calls”) whether or not they are answered
    7. the call sign of licensed amateur stations with which communications have been established, and
    8. location when the station is operated other than at the main amateur station address
  • A logbook will typically include additional information, such as signal reports sent and received and/or the name and QTH of the person contacted, however this information is entirely optional
