How do you log during your activations? Obvious answers seem to be paper, tablet, or laptop. But is there something specific you use that you've found to make it all go more smoothly? I'm looking for

Hi Detrick, You should post this on the WWFF-KFF Facebook page and you will get a bunch of responses as many seem to do it their own way. Many people prefer the free FLE software which has a template

I agree with Kraig that a great place for this question is the WWFF-KFF FB Page. Perhaps you could search history too. From my memory, FLE is the most popular. It’s simple and cheap. I use a different

I find it sad that most of the activity is on Facebook. For me, I won't use it. But it is what it is, and the world doesn't have to cater to me. N1MM+, FLE, and ACL look good. I've used N1MM+ before,

Agreed on this. It's unfortunate that so many groups have opted to go that route. There are some good arguments as to why this is a bad idea, but this isn't the place to discuss them I suppose. I use

I typically just log on paper, and then enter everything into dxkeeper (or tqsl) after the fact. +1 on facebook. I have an account solely to interact with groups like the wwff one. I'm not a FB fan at

Very good, and thank you for the additional info. Your experience sounded, overall, somewhere between a bad and an average day for me. But I use a KX3 and work primarily CW at 15W. I spent a couple we

A good read, thanks. I was left with a few questions: Power? Mode(s)? Radio? 73, 44, -detrick K4IZ

Good questions: 100 watts, SSB on 14 (got zero) and 7 Mhz, Icom 706 MarkII. Antenna a Par EndFedz for 40 and 20m. Hope to work you on future activations.

Detrick, you've given me some good ideas. For one, maybe I'm not staying in the saddle long enough. You say most yours are all day affairs. Maybe I was spoiled to get 49 qso's in an hour Sunday, and 3

Are many/any activations successful on 2m, if you're not in a densely populated area? I am thinking of the Smoky Mountains. I would have only 5 watts but on a j-pole up 25' on a mountain top.

This Saturday I’ll be camping at Suwanee River state park, KFF-1921 (and SUW for Florida State Parks On the Air). This is primarily a test run along with N4ESS and KE4AL for our VHF/satellite grid exp

I don't use FT-8 but I'll look for you on phone or CW.
