Below are some printable logbooks (or logsheets) which I made to use whilst operating portable, such as SOTA. They are available in PDF format, for you to print on to A4 paper. The portrait version includes three extra columns compared to the landscape version, which are band, mode and power. The landscape version however has a section at the top for band. Both have sections at the top for callsign, date and location. The final one is designed for contest work with columns for serials exchanged and the name column is omitted.
Portable Logbook Sheet (Landscape A4)
Landscape logbook with 46 entries, 23 per side. Can be cut into 2 or folded. Includes spaces for callsign, date, band and location at the top of each page.
Columns are: Time, Callsign, Signal, Name, Location / Notes.
Full Logbook Sheet (Portrait A4)
Portrait logbook with 34 entries. Includes spaces for callsign, date, location and page number at the top of each page.
Columns are: Time, Callsign, Band, Mode, Power, Signal, Name, Location / Notes.

John’re my idol!
All your ideas are great but Logbook paper is exactly what I was looking for a long time as a supplement to my trips with radio
Thanks for the comment Tomasz! Glad they are useful! 73 😛
Hi John, Loving listening to the D&B on your PI 😉
I notice your logbooks don’t include frequency – do you make a note of that or don’t find it important?
You include Band so I guess that is sufficient.
