The logs I have are numbered 1 through 10 and are dated from 18 June 1972 until 30 March 1974. KX4R

1st Logbook Cover

1st page showing W4QAW from the FCC as QSO #1. In your HamGallery story written by Chester, he stated that W4QAW of the FCC gave the OK if he could be the 1st qso....and you can see by the first page of the log that I scanned , it appears he was indeed ! ......QSL Manager W1YRC is #3 in the log. Also W3CRA Frank Lucas & W8BT (W8AH) Al Hix made the 1st log page. Operators at XV5AC were Don Riebhoff K7CBZ (K7ZZ), Fred Laun W9SZR (now K3ZO), Chester Lunsford W4EVG, Dick Klein K4GKD (now N9CM), Father Marshall Moran 9N1MM, Gary WA4NMU, Bill Schneider K2UYG (now K2TT) and possibly several other operators around Siagon that would take turns with the callsign.
