Discussion
This appears to be a log entry from a amateur radio operator, specifically a digital mode transmission in the FT8 protocol. Here's a breakdown of what I think each part means:
* `08:04 JL3ZAW/P`: This is the date and time of the transmission (08 hours 4 minutes), followed by the call sign "JL3ZAW" which identifies the transmitting station.
+ The `/P` indicates that this call sign was used on a portable setup, rather than from a fixed location with a regular home station call sign.
* `JP-1995(Tamba Namikimichi Chuo Prefectural Park, JP-HG)`: This is the location of the transmitting station. It appears to be in Japan (JP) and more specifically:
+ The number "JP-1995" might refer to a specific grid square or section within Japan's national grid system (I couldn't find any further information on this format).
+ "(Tamba Namikimichi Chuo Prefectural Park)" provides the name of the location, which seems to be a park in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture.
+ The "JP-HG" suffix likely indicates that this is within Japan's national grid square system (HG being one of 21 squares).
* `7043`: This is the operating frequency on which the transmission took place. It appears to be 70.43 MHz, a common amateur radio band for digital modes.
* `FT8 FT8`: These are the protocols or modes used for this transmission: FT8, a popular mode for weak signal DXing (long-distance communication).
* `Sent: -03`: This indicates that the transmitter's power output was around 3 dB below its rated maximum. The "sent" part refers to the transmitting station.
* `Rcvd: -15[JK1WVC]`: This line seems to indicate the reception conditions at the receiving end. Here:
+ `[JK1WVC]` might be a call sign of the receiving operator, or possibly an identifier for their station (I couldn't find any info on this format).
+ `Rcvd: -15` suggests that the signal was 15 dB below the noise floor at the receiver. This is an indication of the relative strength of the received signal.
This log entry seems to be from a digital mode transmission in FT8, with the transmitting station's location mentioned as Tamba Namikimichi Chuo Prefectural Park in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
