Logging Your Catches
« on: May 20, 2014, 1602 UTC »
Just wondering how our members log their catches.

Paper Logbook ?
HFU / Our Forum ?
Logging Program ?
Something different ?
Or a combination of the above ?

Thanks for your input.
:)

Hi ByteBORG,    

I agree with Chris. The HFU is also my log book.  I can view my previous 700+ loggings going all the way back to when I started here,12/2012. (or if you want to see Chris's 7,000+ posts back to 2008  :o !)

Simply click on your name / tag and that will take you to your Summary Page. As it opens up, scroll down to where the link / words: Show The Last Posts of This Person and click that on. You now have access to ALL of your posts ever put on HFU.  ...RCCI

General purpose 1 Subject notebook. I find that when I write something down, I retain it better than typing it into a computer. The notebook also allows me to "break format" when needed, to write other highly important notes, such as special settings, the weather, musings etc.
