Chapter 10

Radio Logs

The radio and handover logs are very important documents. If required they can be

called upon in a court of law as evidence. They provide the radio operator with a

‘continuous written commentary’ of all activities on radio networks and events which

occurred during the shift. Therefore it is imperative all radio staff keep an accurate

and complete account during their duty watch.

The radio operator on watch should also sign ‘In’ and ‘Out’ of the logs at the

beginning and end of their shift.

Base stations are required to maintain a radio log showing:

• Time Time of the transmission/reception of a call.

• To Who the call was addressed to.

• From Who the call was from.

• Message Contents of the message.

• Freq/Ch Frequency or channel used.

Time To From Message Freq/Ch

Example Radio Log

Mobile stations are not required to maintain a station log unless acting as a control

station.

Hand-Over Log

Hand-over logs are useful for a variety of reasons. They contain information relating

to the daily running of a radio room not usually required in the radio log. Such things

as:

• Roster change requests.

• Duties to be carried out.

• Extra notes for particular radio rooms etc.

• Vehicles tracked.

• Loss of electrical power.

• Unserviceable equipment and action taken.

• Any other significant event

Telephone and Fax Log

Due to accountability requirements, the telephone and fax log should be completed as

per Annex H.
