Just to make sure I understood the situation correctly, I just went and
looked up the rule cited.
-----------
XII. Judging:
C. Audio Recordings: Any single operator entrant (see V.A.1) competing for a
top three finish at the (a) World, (b) Continent, or (c) USA levels, must
record the transmitted and received audio as heard by the operator for the
duration of the contest operation. The recording must be in a common format
(e.g., mp3) and should include the audio to each ear as a separate channel.
The recording may be requested by the Committee within 90 days after the log
deadline to help adjudicate the log. The recording files must be provided by
the entrant within 5 days of the request. If no recording is made available,
the Committee may reclassify or disqualify the entry.
-----------
Now as I read that rule, there is nothing about "registration" of the entry.
That said...
Was the aforementioned recording requested?
And if so, was the request made within 90 days of the end of the log
deadline? (90 days from either 2359 Z 4 November 2016 for SSB, 2359 Z 2
December 2016 for CW)
Without knowing this information, it is extremely difficult to determine if
Marcelo is being treated unfairly.
Interesting read, the rules.
-----------
B. Observer Program: The Committee may request of any entrant to accept a
visit by an observer during the contest. Failure to allow a Committee
appointed observer full access to the station during the contest period may
result in the entry being a Checklog.
-----------
ANY entrant, hmmm? And the word "request" implies that this is optional,
but further reading indicates that actually it's mandatory.
I'm sure there are more.
I'd insert a wisecrack here, to try and lighten the mood, but I fear someone
would take it seriously and take offense, so I'll refrain.

Hi all.
After several years, I began with contests. Over time I have personally and
economically sacrificed so that my station every day is in better condition.
Today I wake up and found this mail from one of the organizers.
"Thank you for your participation in the CQWW 2016 competition. We can not
verify the category of your entrant due to the lack of registration of your
entry to the contest, as required by the rules of section XII, section C, we
have reclassified your entry as checklog.
We hope to see you in the CQWW 2017 contests.
Scott Robbins
W4PA
On behalf of the CQWW committee "
The CQWW has changed the rules since 2015. Now the single op stations must
have the recorded audio of the contest on separate channels so that
everything is transparent and without lies.
In case the organization of the contest considers it necessary, they ask for
it.
But, I don't have audio recording and internet.
Dear Members of the CQWW Control Organization.
If ALL STATIONS MUST HAVE THE AUDIO, YOU ARE ALLOWING TO CHECK THE POSSIBLE
ERRORS, INCORRECT LETTERS, A LOT OF TIMES BEFORE SEND THE LOG.
If they want audio file, they can not give more than a day after the contest
ends to send the log and audio, so there is no time to review it.
How could it be that for not having audio, send me to checklog being the
first in my category with a big difference (double of points) with the
second???
If there are doubts of some multipliers, please delete them, remove qsos or
whatever, but do not send me to checklog without asking.
The contests are possible because of the participants who invest a lot of
money so that everything works better year after year, leaving many things
aside for the contests, which deprives many things by putting all the money
available on the radio and improving the Station for a plaque with the best
of luck.
Many stations this year were penalized with good reason or without reason.
But can not you listen to audio with the SDR?
How many M/M, M/S or other stations use 4kw or more instead of 1kw?
Who controls real power?
Who controls the receiving antennas to less than 500m?
Who controls that these receiving antennas are not in another country and
are heard remotely?
Who controls that a callsign has several stations set up in the same country
but in different places and depending on the propagation activate one and
turn off another?
In the CQWW CW single operator, who knows if it is an operator or several?
Today there are many people in the world who are angry and think if they are
going to do the CQWW 2017.
MY SOLUTIONS:
If the idea is to take real solutions, disconnect the cluster (DXSummit,
DXFUNCluster, etc) or RBN during the contest.
The stations that intend to leave assisted, pass the IP so that only these
IPs have full access to the cluster.
Leave the cluster only for warc during the weekend so that those who want to
access those pages can have it.
