Probably true Yan but as Mike (W0MU) pointed out how will I know in advance
that I might be in the top 10 in some category and therefore might need to
provide a recording? My granddaughter is a ham but would be hard pressed to
float a 100USD for a netbook computer at the moment on her own. So I guess
she would need to make sure she doesn't end up in the top 10 such that she
needs a recording. [Fortunately, she does her contesting from my station.]

Hi Larry,
These requirement will in practice be enforced only for "top scorers".
I think neither "newcomers with cheap stations" or "oldtimers with boat
anchors" will qualify for top scores.
It's my opinion, but I might be wrong.
Someone talked about Chip K7JA winning with an old radio without CAT.
It's a great achievement without doubt. However this particular example is
not relevant as Chip had to spend several hundreds of dollars for his plane
ticket and so.
Buying a used netbook computer for 100$ would have not be an "out of budget"
expense.
73,
Yan.

I realize some of this is reaction to the TO7A events.
On the one hand we talk about trying to encourage new contesters but in
this
thread we are suggesting possibly more equipment or equipment capability
which could be overwhelming to new contester or even an older contester
with
limited means. There are still hams without computers (or at least not
connected to a radio). There are others that are running older computers
and can't afford to move to something newer.
