- GM and followed the best advice I've yet heard -- KEEP A LOG! :-) While I reali
- that logs aren't officially required these days, they really do help keep
- track of who's who -- especially when more than three or four people are in
- a roundtable. It's also more than just records of names and calls scratched
- on paper -- it's a piece of your life. Even in the short time I've been on
- the air, I get a lump in my throat when reviewing the log. . . stirring
- memories of memorable conversations with old friends and old timers. There's
-
- Amen to that. I recently completed the entry of all of my old paper
- logs into my logbook database on the pc. Amazing how the old QSO's
- come back to life after 20 years...
-
- One thing I learned, with my new database time and dates recorded in
- GMT - I wish I hadn't logged in CST/CDT back then.

- My "new" mobile is a Yaesu 2700 dual bander with ranges from 144 to
- 150(!) Mhz and 440 to 450 Mhz. Does anyone know of a way to expand
