The logs for Alain, 5R8AL's historic operations from 1975 to the end of 2008 are on paper. The log from 1st January 2009 onwards has been uploaded to the ARRL's Log Book of the World (LoTW), together with a small number of QSOs prior to that date (the most recent upload being on 31st October 2024) and Club Log. Updates are normally received and processed on a monthly basis dependant upon Alain's level of activity.

Please note that, following a decision by the RSGB QSL bureau not to process outgoing cards for non members, paper QSLs for this station are ONLY available DIRECT with adequate return postage.

Enter your callsign and click on the "search" button below. Progressive searches are allowed, e.g. enter "G4" and all G4xx callsigns worked are displayed. Enter "G4B", and all G4Bx callsigns are displayed.

The on-line log contains all QSOs between January 2009 and 30th October 2024 plus a small number of earlier QSOs. If your QSO is after this date, then it will NOT appear in the log search!
