K1TTT: Perhaps. Just like you have to log, you have to record if you expect to win. It is not at all unreasonable. What we're talking about here is a mindset shift, not unlike when the contest commun
I think recording contests can be useful. It is fairly easy to do - I have been doing it for years. I almost never go back and listen to much or any of the recordings of my contests. I already heard
The point is, I didn't expect to win anything! So should we disappoint a new or casual op who happens to sit in the chair long enough to win something by disqualifying him for not making an audio rec
Recording should be right up there with logging. If you didn't log it, you didn't work it. If you didn't record it, you didn't work it. Very simple. -- We don't need to make recordings a condition of
Now that is a very good idea. Rather than forcing people, even though it is very few, to send in additional info with their log, people can take it upon themselves to create evidence that they did no

So I guess the next generation of $12,000.00 rigs will have built-in audio/visual recording capabilities. 73 -- Paul VO1HE _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
That sounds reasonable Jim... If one has tens of thousands of dollars tied up in their station, a few hundred bucks more won't matter... There's still a lot of folks running DOS and TS520 (for exampl
Has it ever occurred to you that part of the motivation for making the logs public might be to see what can be done to improve the log checking capabilities of the contest sponsors via entrant sugges
about 1 s-unit. You're going to use SFX/A/K/MUF/LUF hocus-pocus and station details to determine who is using big power and who is not? That's absurd.< I should have said "12 dB or 2 s-units" -- stil
Sounds like DXCC has the problem, not CQ WW. Since I do not participate in the DXCC program I don't concern myself with what happens with my logs after they are submitted to the contest sponsors vis-
Add stacked yagis on 200' towers and 4 Square Arrays and it's a HUGE difference... ____________________________________________________________________________________ http://tools.search.yahoo.com/n
Paul, I would assume that the visual recording would be used to prove that you were the only operator during the contest! Maybe we also need to think of taking a voice print to ensure that the same p

Or many will simply make contacts for FUN and dont send the LOG... 73, Claude VE2FK So I guess the next generation of $12,000.00 rigs will have built-in audio/visual recording capabilities. 73 -- Pau
Such a video recording would only prove you were the only op in front of that radio or within the field of the camera. Rumor has it that the disqualified station responsible for this discussion had a
The difference between my lowest 20m yagi (19m) and the highest alone (44m) usually is already 10db at the east cost and 15db to the mid west. With 1W out from my SDR1000 my signal is at N2II is the

You can buy a 2GB USB flash drive for $15, and Sagebrush Software sells very useful recording software that will timestamp your audio files for under $30. No doubt, there is freeware out there too. A
Scott, Don't forget that big number of "small pistols" calling you in the contest are those wishing to get QSO with you for DXCC count, so being the contest guys we have to think about others! 73s, H
No. Expecting me to buy an MP3 recorder or any similar device is totally unreasonable. Expecting me to rig up my computer or another computer to record my contest activity is totally unreasonable. An
