Hi Jerry,

It'll be a lot of fun either way. 

Personally, I prefer the visceral, ancient connection between operator and log;
the sweaty grip of the Ticonderoga, or the Bic; the ambiguity and imperfection
of hastened entries, fontless and freeform. I seek the expressive void of the
margin, begging for a quip, a doodle, or a jotted note. And I can the just smell
the crisp, recycled 28-pound card stock, laboring in the noontime sun, dog-eared
and infused with the stains of battle, be they cola, pepperoni, or decaf.

More important, I use an end-fed wire antenna. My computer trashes the bands.
