[BC] EAS Logs

Mike McCarthy Towers
Sat Apr 21 16:40:06 CDT 2007


I never said the entry must be made at the time of the test or other 
activity. It can be done at any time within the week.

The method of written entry is covered in a separate rule part other than 
73.1820.  I also never said the use of an electronic log was not 
permitted.  Only that the entires must be included in the paper Station Log.
