| * The radio "Reference Guides" for the three kinds of radios I have at my stations from [[/references/radioprogramming |Radio Programming page]]. These are single page print outs that show me how to setup a frequency, repeater offset, and tone in the VFO in case I need to work a repeater I don't have programmed. This is the kind of stuff that's important to know but really easy to forget | * The radio "Reference Guides" for the three kinds of radios I have at my stations from the [[/links/radioprogramming |Radio Programming page]].

| * I also have my [[http://k7fry.com/grid/ |Grid Square]] taped to my desk. A [[wp>Maidenhead_Locator_System |Grid square]] is a series alternating pairs of letters and digits like CN89. The more characters contained, the more precise the location, which is a good way of giving your location to any desired level of resolution and keep any level of privacy you like. | * I also have my [[http://k7fry.com/grid/ |Grid Square]] taped to my desk.
