[HCARC] Getting on Logbook of the World.

[galeheise at windstream.net]

To All -

  I spoke to Harvey today and asked if the Club Station, N5HR, was on Logbook of the World.  Since it’s not, I thought this might be a good short segment in the Tech Corner discussion where we complete the Steps as we go along.  As part of next month’s Tech Corner we plan to go into the Club Shack and complete Steps 1 & 2.  In the meantime, if you want to get onto Logbook of the World you can first click on the General Instructions link below and then click and printout the individual Step links for detailed instructions.  While the process may seem long, I previously followed the detailed instructions and found them to be very thorough.  If you’re having problems in any of the Steps, let me know and we’ll see if we can help you to overcome them.

  These are the steps we’ll be using to get N5HR on Logbook of the World.  The associated links provide detailed instructions to follow for each Step.
