My First Ham Radio

For Christmas my dad bought me my first ham radio, a Kenwood TM-V708A (see here). I have only just begun programming it, there is a lot to learn on this radio in order to use it to its full potential. Now that I have my own radio and I do not have to use my dads HT I am thinking about creating a JAVA program with an online database to keep a log of all my contacts, until then a spreadsheet will have to do.
