How to Log Your Contacts On Ham Radio 

Glad you like them!

Im looking for an iPhone app and researching all this Ham world. Also all this terminology hope to put something together for that and watch videos on just the basic Tx and learning how to talk.

Thank you very much! 73!

Glad it helped!

Hi, you are right, the correct UTC is 19. Thanks for letting us know. :)

Thanks for responding. We'll check the time. The other station was a General! We use the AA1RC call sign, which is a club call, in our lessons. We will cover using 2 calls in a future video.

Video produced in Daylight Savings Time in Eastern Time Zone.

Thanks for pointing this out! I thought I was losing my mind! If it's 3:15 Eastern local and UTC is 4 hours ahead that should be 7:15P/19:15 UTC, I'm thinking.

I've never understood their type. They waste everyones time hogging band that is uneeded. I only use radios when I'm slotting floppies at work, usually. The only other purpose is convoys, four wheel driving, camping, and in emergency situations. I've been using what yanks would call the HAM band for about 35 years. Never got a license outside of the license you're forced to get as a pilot that kind of is just stapled to your learners permit when you're a wee sprog. Ironically I've been menaced by radio geezers for not being licensed. Meanwhile for 18 months now China has been jamming 3 CB bands and an Islamic fundamentalist station has been broadcasting for 22 months on another - so clearly the government don't police it because I've found two of the four offenders myself out of boredom after the first few months. I suspect it's more hobbies that attract people on the spectrum. I've noticed drone guys are almost as bad. They rat each other out every chance they can get. It's fun winding them up though tbh. Especially if you fly headless p2p missions (i.e. your drones operate and film things for you with on board commands and you never keep line of sight, never even fly them, and thus break every rule but are untrackable / untouchable) or if you use low power and have your own local repeaters so if some angry ham fox hunts you the best they'll get is a couple of baofengs up a tree. It's weird because I'm a stickler for obeying the laws, when the laws are sensible. When it is something that is so dead as a hobby as ham, or so under used as a drone user, these laws solely exist to surprise tax you with fines or licenses. I opt out of those laws and prefer to remain a pirate.
