[Waverley ARS] John Moyle Field day Logs

[Simon Buxton]

Hi

Daniel's log shows how easily one of the purposes of a contest has long 
been forgotten. That is "how well are my signals getting out". Very few 
contestants report actual readability and strength any more - almost 
every contact gets a 59 report even if they have to ask you to repeat 
your callsign several times! Maybe it is laziness or perhaps the use of 
computer logging with a default of 59. Admittedly with the JM contest, 
portable equipment doesn't usually have good S meters.

A pity though.

Not sure if time is required in logs?

A good result, Daniel, though I doubt whether we would have much chance 
against other clubs with multi-operator teams.
