#Station Notebook

A station notebook is a simple record of the changes you make at your station: antennas, amplifiers, software versions, operators and settings. Its value appears a year later, when you try to explain why the statistics changed. Without notes, differences between two contests are easily attributed to propagation, although the real reason may be a different antenna or a different operator. A notebook can be a text file or a paper page, as long as it is kept up to date. The articles under this tag show what to write down.
