Picking your targets in the pack is not really in the spirit of contesting - 
neither is cheating - 

The rules need to be slightly changed to something along the lines of:  

C. Audio Recordings: to help adjudicate logs, all entrants should record the 
transmitted and received audio as heard by the operator(s) 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 must 
be a continuous recording (not a recording of individual QSOs). Time “off the 
air” (when not transmitting or receiving) does not have to recorded. The 
recording may be requested by the Committee within 120 days after the log 
deadline. The recording files must be provided by the entrant(s) within 5 days 
of the request. If no recording is made available, the Committee may reclassify 
to an appropriate category, reclassify to Administrative Check Log, or 
disqualify the entry.

It is very interesting to read the continuing comments about "recordings" and 
other things CQWW.


As others have commented, reading this stuff could be demotivating to 
newbies.


BUT WAIT!!!!


I now see that there is a wonderful opportunity to enlighten some of 
those who post here....
or those who don't post but lurk in the background.


So let's start with "how to announce CQWW Actions."


First, nothing is formally announced by CQWWCC until the results are 
final and published.
I hope that makes sense to everyone.


After publication, the Actions of the CQWWCC are published...on line.


K5ZD has done a spectacular job maintaining and updating all of the CQ 
Contest web pages.


One of the "tabs" on the CQWW.com web page is our BLOG, where will find 
exactly what you ask for.
