The only comment I have on CQ WW rules change is about the Observer Program. I would be happy to have an observer. However, I don't know how to record what I hear. I would need some education and I suppose some sort of recording device (another computer?). I'd hate to have to take another computer on my trips. I suppose recording would be different depending on the rig used. And I wonder about RFI to the recording device.

If the meaning of the rule is that the recording may be requested after the contest is over, that could be very hard on a high scorer who doesn't always record his contests or one who unexpectedly makes a high score. I do notice that the rule applies to "any entrant" and not just expected high scorers. If it means that the recording can be requested prior to the contest (not practical since the committee won't know definitely whom they want to record), I'd have no problem with that.

I guess the rule change, if adopted, means that all of us will have to find out how to make a recording and do it for every contest.

73,

John, K4BAI/PJ4A.
