Time and date operations started

frequencies and power levels transmitted on/with

any contacts (include: callsign of station worked, frequency worked, power used, time and date(if its more than a minute long, include time started, and time finished), mode, and operators initials)

Time and date operations ceased

Operators' names, callsigns, and license levels (e.g. Chip Legett, WX9EMT, Extra)

Keep in mind this is for everyone's protection and should not be taken as "something has already gone wrong".  We've had absolutely no problems or interference complaints so far.  

A good example log would be:

Station opened: 1500 (local) 14 Jul 2007

called CQ on 14275 kHz from 1502 to 1504 using 50W on SSB

contact: NX1XXX, 14275 kHz, 1504 14 Jul 2007, 50W, SSB, ended 1510, CL

called CQ on 14050 kHz from 1512 to 1520 using 50W on CW

station closed: 1525 (local) 14 Jul 2007

Please leave a copy of this log in the shack.  Feel free to take a copy with you (especially once we get a computer/printer in there), but one copy needs to remain in the shack.

Note that due to the *attached* OET 65 excerpt, we may not exceed 50W on 10m or any VHF frequency, or 75W on 12m, because we don't want to have to due the applicable survey to ensure compliance with OET 65.  I don't believe we have a radio capable of putting out more than 100W so those are the only requirements we should have to watch.  

Remember to only use the minimum power necessary for ANY communication.  If someone gives you a signal report of "20 over 5-9" back the power down, you've got some breathing room.

Please reference the attached Table from OET Bulletin No. 65: Evaluating Compliance With FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields.
