Hi Mike
It is simplistic to say don't cheat and you won't get asked - The committee
will change over the years and the rule will come back to bite - It is a dumb
rule
The very ethos of contesting has been thrown out the window by the CQ
Committee.
Read the very rule that in various forms attaches to the vast majority of
contests
"XIII. DECLARATION:
By submitting a CQ WW DX Contest log, and in consideration of the efforts of
the CQ WW DX
Contest Committee to review and evaluate that log, an entrant unconditionally
and irrevocably
agrees that he/she has: 1) read and understood the rules of the contest and
agrees to be bound
by them, 2) operated according to all rules and regulations that pertain to
amateur radio for the
station location, 3) agreed the log entry may be made open to the public, and
4) accepted that
the issuing of disqualifications and other decisions of the Committee are
official and final. If an
entrant is unwilling or unable to agree to all of the foregoing, the entrant
should not submit the
entry or submit the entry as a Checklog only."
Asking for recording is then saying we do not trust any competitors integrity -
that is plain simple and obvious - it is a sad change to the vibe of contesting
as we know it.
Cheers

".Check the ALL TIME records for AFRICA, OCEANIA, SOUTH AMERICA and ASIA -
there
are several classes of NO LOGS - never an entrant in the category - In Oceania
there is an All-time record with 2 points !!!
The people who decide to have a bit of fun to put their name in lights and make
10 QSOs just to get the PDF are now being asked to record the entire 48 hour
contest ? Who would bother? To record 47 hours of band noise?
."
No Trent. What you fail (and to be fair, many others fail as well) to realize
and what Bob, W5OV has said over and over is:
(paraphrasing) '.Don't cheat and you won't get asked for recordings...'
Really - I don't know how much simpler it could be. C'mon guys. Seriously !
