The CQ WW Committee blog post about audio recording is a bit of surprise to me. Up until now I had figured audio recording would only be an issue in Oceania for the serious entrants (i.e. entries wit
Hi Mark seems no more casual entries! On CQWW SSB, SO10HP, some of the top where DQ or sent to checklog so the official winning was YV6CR with 1013 QSOS and less than 15 hours of operation, when a to
I have only "seriously" entered a few contests. When it becomes necessary for me to record my operation, especially if it's a "casual" operation, consider me a non participant. It seems to me that in
I am not a serious contester but enter many of the larger contests, and I don't have the ability to audio record my activity. Guess I will be DQed if I accidently win a catetory. 73 John AF5CC ______
Great comments... How about this scenario..... I start working the contest without a recording knowing that I would not be able to give it a 'competitive' effort due to the fact that my wife and I ar

How about this scenario: I go to the Caribbean for a fun trip and to play some contesting.. I do low power, because I don't want to put a huge effort into the station. Thinking I'm not going to win,
Sometimes a casual effort is all that is needed for a winning score do to lack of competition in a particular category. It is probably a good idea to always record however I doubt that the WW committ
With all this talk about recording I thought I might as well do it (built into my logger). Maybe Ill learn something useful after the results come out. Recorded the RTTY Sprint. Got the LCR, it had t
All of these scenarios defy logic. The CQ committee has the RIGHT to request a recording. That doesn't mean that they WILL unless they suspect that something is rotten in Denmark (not a slam on Denma

Come on guys I think this is getting a bit unreal. I'm a 'serious' competitor and will probably never record my ops. If the committee wants to see a recording it's because something appears to be irr
Congratulations are in order for KK9A! This is the correct perspective to have. If you do not cheat, it does not matter what your score is, you will not be asked for anything. Not for an explanation,
Dave, Seriously, in all of this, there is one way to avoid all of it. Do not cheat. It is as simple as that. If you do not cheat it will not be likely you will be asked for anything. If you do cheat,
Yes, Mark; Your interpretation is precisely correct. 73, Bob W5OV _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman
Hi Bob If I may clarify your reply on this topic. Are you saying: 1. The Committee will only request audio recordings where they believe an entrant has breached the rules. 2. In this instance where t
You guys all get your knickers in a knot over nothing and/or have a real difficult time digesting what it is you are reading. First (a month or so ago) it was the sky was falling because you (collect
Bob, Thanks for giving the participants more insight into what's happening behind the 'closed doors' of the contest. I'm an admin for the SCQP and I can identify with your philosophy etc. In early 20

Hi Mark my example for country top finish was wrong, here is what rules say: C. Audio Recordings: Any single operator entrant (see V.A.1) competing for a top three finish at the (a) World, (b) Contin
