It used to be a FD tradition of sorts, a way to introduce new folks into ham radio. Before computers were invented, you kept a chronological log, and a manual dupe sheet with 10 columns numbered 0 thru 9 into which you wrote the suffix of each call worked in the appropriate column. In those

Here's what I use (viewed at nabble.com) . I can interface 3 different radios, both directions, to computers, communications terminals or (back several years ago) tape recorders. The switches allow me to select any combination of radios or data/recorder devices.

This was something we wondered about during field day. A way for operator and logger to speak to each other over the headsets, as well as listen to the QSOs. Hearing both sides of the QSO was accomplished by using the monitor feature on the K3. However, the operator and logger wanted to

Hello David, Not singling you out or anything but I've often wondered why you need separate operator and logger? This seems to be a practice peculiar to FD but I've never understood why the person operating the radio doesn't do the logging too?? On 7/3/2015 1:15 PM, David McAnally wrote:

My guess would be for a CW contest station. Kind of a PITA to keep moving hand from keyer paddle to keyboard. Of course, if one could type with one hand and do CW with the other, that would be great. But I can't, so having a logger op would help the QSO rate. On Jul 3, 2015, at 7:52 PM,
