It appears you've shared a log entry from a ham radio operator's activity on the 2-meter band. Let's break down what each part of this notation means:
1. **11:43**: The time of the contact.
2. **JG3DHN/1**: This is the call sign of the transmitting station, with:
- "JG" indicating Japan as the country of operation.
- "3" being a district or prefecture number (it can vary).
- "DHN" likely stands for the operator's name or an identifier within their station.
- "/1" suggests that this call sign is used with a 1/4 wave ground plane antenna, which is indicated by the "/" followed by "1".
3. **on JP-0114**: This indicates the specific location of the transmission, with:
- "JP-" prefixing Japan as the country.
- "0114" possibly referring to coordinates (latitude and longitude) in some form, but without further context, it's a bit ambiguous.
4. **(Suigo-Tsukuba Quasi-National Park, JP-CH,JP-IB)**: This is additional location information:
- The name of the park, which can sometimes be used as a reference point for hams to identify their location.
- "JP-" followed by specific identifiers that could refer to national parks within Japan, but they seem not directly related to usual latitude and longitude coordinates format.
5. **430066.2**: This seems to be an error or possibly irrelevant to the log entry as it's usually interpreted in a different context (perhaps a frequency or some measurement), but here doesn't match any standard log notation for ham radio activities, particularly when considering frequencies which are typically denoted differently.
6. **CW CW JCC1405**: This part indicates that:
- "CW" stands for Continuous Wave modulation, a mode of transmission where the operator sends Morse code.
- The second mention of "CW" seems redundant and is likely an error in transcription.
- "JCC1405" might be another identifier or possibly not relevant here. In ham radio logs, JCC often refers to some sort of activity or event, but it's unclear what the context could be.
7. **--> 2m Phone[JG3DHN]**: This seems to indicate that this is a transition or continuation from:
- "CW" mode to phone mode (where voice communication occurs) on the 2-meter band.
- "[JG3DHN]" likely closes off the previous transmission's details, indicating it was from JG3DHN.
Given the context and usual log formats for ham radio activities, there appears to be a mix of relevant and possibly irrelevant or erroneous information within this entry.
