And follows with a long list of reasons, none of which are true when
one or more competitors in the class/section "cheats" by recording the
contest. The incentive to "cheat" is promoted by the disproportional
penalty and the fact it's impossible to be caught unlike excessive
power or packet assist.

I see now that one of the contest logging programs has added the
feature to record receiver audio along with the log entry, swell.
