What this sheet is for
Keep a continuous paper log of contacts that does not depend on a laptop being on the desk, and see at a glance which cards are still outstanding.
Who it is for
Licensed amateurs, contest and portable operators, and anyone keeping a paper log alongside or instead of logging software.
How to use it
- Write your callsign, operator and locator once at the top of each sheet.
- Log the contact as it happens — times reconstructed afterwards are the ones that disagree with the other station's log.
- Say in the time column whether you are logging UTC or local, and stay with it.
- Record both reports: the one you sent and the one you were given.
- Tick the QSL column when a card goes out, and again when one comes back.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The classic contact log, one line per station worked — date and time, band, mode and frequency, the callsign, the reports exchanged both ways, and whether a card went out and came back.
Your licence sets the limits. No band plan, power figure or licence condition appears on this sheet. What you may transmit, where and at what power comes from your own licence and from the rules where you are — check those. This page is your record of what you worked.

Questions
Why is there no band plan or power limit printed on the sheet?
Because what you may use, where, and at what power comes from your own licence and from the rules where you are, and both differ by country and change. Check those before you transmit — this sheet is a record of what you worked, nothing more.
Does a paper log still matter if I log to software?
That is your call. Some operators keep paper as the primary record and type it up later, some keep it only for portable or contest work. The sheet is built for either, and it does not need power.
