Here is what the rules say, cut and pasted from the actual CQWW contest
rules:

"Any single operator entrant (see V.A.1) competing for a top three finish
at the (a) World, (b) Continent, or (c) USA levels, must record the
transmitted and received audio as heard by the operator 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 may be requested by the Committee within 90 days after the log
deadline to help adjudicate the log. The recording files must be provided
by the entrant within 5 days of the request. If no recording is made
available, the Committee may reclassify or disqualify the entry."

It says that it MUST be recorded, not only recorded if I intend to cheat,
or don't cheat and the recording won't be asked for.  So if I do nothing
wrong, and don't cheat, but for some reason the contest committee wants my
recording (like I was spotted a few times) and I don't have one, I am DQ.
