Agree 100 percent.  My philosophy is that when the contest is over the contest is over and the logs should be sent off. ASAP.

The contest recordings could be used by contest sponsors to help adjudicate the logs, etc.

As the "instructor" for the ethics class at Dayton's Contesting University this year, I feel compelled to add a bit to the thought about "top contesters" recording contests for possible review.

Top contesters do not consider using a recording to improve the accuracy of their submitted log as being ethical.  The contest ends at the time stated in the rules.

Top contesters might review such recordings to learn about their operating process and make improvements.  They also might review their log check report to understand why a QSO was busted.

Just didn't anyone reading to feel that using a recording to correct callsigns or exchange information was "okay" in a contest.

    Dxlabs supports this.
    https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/RecordAudio N1MM logger+ has a
    recording mechanism but there is a bunch of apps that could do
    this.  As
    all the top contesters for many contesters much record the contest
    for
    possible review.

    like digital TV where you can run it back quickly while watching
    some show. Seems like it would be handy while trying to work the
    weak ones to make sure you get calls right and info right. Being a
    bit hard of hearing and having got so excited about working a new
    one I missed the report for me (Z63FB) and that bugs me. Having
    bad hearing also has an effect apparently on short term memory to.
    Thank the lord for my logging program (N3FJP).
