8(C)(3). Compare your day and night logs

Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 8: which ONE of the five options?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Note the frequencies on which your selected stations were loudest in each session, and explain the differences in signal strength. Nothing to write until both sessions exist.

Note. This one looks backwards: it reports on listening already done. The requirement says "your daytime and nighttime logs" without naming which sessions, and 8(C)(1) is the step that produces both: 8(C)(4) names the medium-wave logs explicitly. If your counselor reads it as covering both sets, nothing is lost by having them.
