#USING RUMLOGNG WITH BEOFENG FOR ANDROID#

In addition to that, I log my operating frequency, and when I change frequencies, I create a new line with the new frequency. All that information gets written at the top of my activation log.

The apps just mentioned work on my iPhone, there are similar apps available for Android phones. The first thing I do when arriving at my operating location is to get a few pieces of information from my phone: The grid square I am in (using the HamSquare app), the county I am in (using the Where Am I app) and the correct UTC date and time (using the Pilot Time app).

So, don’t clean out your car too often or you will not have a backup for your logbook 🙂 Things like gas receipts, parking passes or old shopping lists, even paper napkins from fast food restaurants all work for this purpose. Even when my log book fails (because I left it at home), there are usually enough scraps of paper in the car that I can log an activation. This is to eliminate one more device that can fail during an activation. It’s not the only way to do this, and it may not be the best way, but it’s what I’ve developed over about 18 months, with more than 60 activations. The following process is what works for me. I am a POTA activator, which means that in addition to just logging for my own benefit, I also have to submit an ADIF file to my POTA regional coordinator.
