WhadidImiss???

Is there anyone who doesn't log in zulu?? 

Really???

I know a lot of ops who don't log, but that's just strange to me. 

Maybe it's just an OT habit, but I keep a "station log" - not just QSO
records (which are electronic on my Palm Pilot nowadays since it makes it so
easy to find prior contacts) but also a record book of doin's at AC7AC -
experiments, incidents of escaping smoke, happy dances when no smoke got
out, odd band cdx, and, lately, the ever present 'Yosemite Sam' threatening
"Varmit I'ma gonna blast you to smithereens..." DSB on 3700, 6500 and 10,500
kHz (so far - I suspect he's on more frequencies because this transmission
lasts about 5 seconds and repeats at exactly 40-second intervals. That
allows time for 8 frequencies from a single transmitter!)
