Sec. 73.1800 General requirements related to the station log.
(a) The licensee of each station must maintain a station log as required by
Sec. 73.1820. This log shall be kept by station employees competent to do so,
having actual knowledge of the facts required. All entries, whether required
or not by the provisions of this part, must accurately reflect the station
operation. Any employee making a log entry shall sign the log, thereby
attesting to the fact that the entry, or any correction or addition made
thereto, is an accurate representation of what transpired.
(b) The logs shall be kept in an orderly and legible manner, in suitable
form and in such detail that the data required for the particular class of
station concerned are readily available. Key letters or abbreviations may be
used if the proper meaning or explanation is contained elsewhere in the log.
Each sheet must be numbered and dated. Time entries must be made in local
time and must be indicated as advanced (e.g., EDT) or non-advanced (e.g.,
EST) time.
(c) Any necessary corrections of a manually kept log after it has been
signed in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section shall be made only
by striking out the erroneous portion and making a corrective explanation on
the log or attachment to it. Such corrections shall be dated and signed by
the person who kept the log or the station chief operator, the station
manager or an officer of the licensee.
(d) No automatically kept log shall be altered in any way after entries have
been recorded. When automatic logging processes fail or malfunction, the log
must be kept manually for that period and in accordance with the
requirements of this section.
(e) No log, or portion thereof, shall be erased, obliterated or willfully
destroyed during the period in which it is required to be retained. (Section
73.1840, Retention of logs.)
(f) Application forms for licenses and other authorizations may require that
certain technical operating data be supplied. These application forms should
be kept in mind in connection with the maintenance of the station log.
