if you are not at K0RF, as single op you did very few hours of CQWW SSB in
the last years, so is easy to you to say if you don´t like the rules, don´t
play the game.
Marcelo is building the best contest station in CX and he sit at the chair
and spend a whole contest alone. I don´t like the rules, so he and me as
many others will not follow your advice.
The others that write here, told that W4PA don´t say the reason they asked
for the audio. This bad communication from W4PA is what makes us to don´t
know if they disqualified him because he did not have the audio or for
suspicions of lying.
from other CC member, I know is not only because he did not have the audio,
they have suspicious of lying. Anyway, never told Marcelo what was the
suspicious, if working 25 multipliers in 1 minute or working AAA0A that was
spotted or whatever.
So to finish that:
- he was reclassified because they have suspicions about the log. So for
someone here that have this same dude, it was not just for not having the
audio. Unfortunately he not recorded the contest. (I didn't record the
contest also)
- In case he recorded the contest, I don't think the recording will help
the operator. CC will tell you that because of the audio, seems he was very
fast going from one station to another, but you can do that in many other
ways that are not necessarily the cluster
