When the KX1 is used hand-held, it's difficult to log, since you need three hands (one each for the KX1, log, and pen). To simplify this, we've created a loose-leaf mini-log that attaches to the back of the radio via the thumbscrews. When operating hand-held, you simply flip the rig over and log the QSO. Even when not operating hand-held, the log sheets can be stored in this location for ready access. They're easy to get off because of the two U-shaped channels for attachment at the thumbscrews. In our tests, the log worked well even with a solder lug attached at one thumb screw (for a trailing ground wire).
You'll find a .pdf file for the mini-log, and a photo showing the log sheets in use, at: http://www.elecraft.com/KX1/KX1.htm Feel free to print out as many sheets as you'd like for your own use. We suggest heavy card stock, 65 pound or higher (about the weight of business card paper). Trim out the sheets carefully using an X-acto knife or other sharp tool. You can stack quite a few sheets under the thumb screws -- certainly enough for a typical outing. You could also cut out a piece of transparency stock or Vellum to protect the paper sheets during transport. This top sheet should be moved to the bottom of the stack during operation. We didn't include columns for mode or power output level. This info could be noted in the blank area at the right of the mini-log, since it's likely to be the same for a group of QSOs.
