Actually, it's cool to send a .wav file to someone and let them
hear how well, or not so well, they were doing into your QTH
during a contest. Or, let some friends hear how well XU7 dah di dah
or some other station comes in. The first reason is usually not
for cheating.
And, I would like to review a recording against my UBN to see what
I did wrong and see if I can correct it the next time. I just can't
imagine going thru 48 hours of recording. It's rough enough the first
time through. I would even like to do video, but that would take
tapes and would require changing tapes every 6 hours, you know right
in the middle of a good run! ;-)
