hello Bud

well, my idea was to ask, after CQWW CW, for a rule change in CQWW and CQ
WPX to ask for audio recording ALSO to assisted stations and for more
entries, not just World and Continent top scores

I think stations asking for a COUNTRY RECORD must send the audio recording
ALWAYS with the log and the audio recording must be public as the logs. If
you don`t send the AUDIO with the LOG you cannot claim a country record

Just my point of view about that

Thanks for your great work supporting the CQWW WPX Contest!
