[CQ-Contest] Interesting new rule in EUHFC

[K4RO Kirk Pickering]

I imagine the spectrum recorders could be a useful tool for contest 
adjudicators, especially with a coordinated effort of strategically 
placed recievers and time-stamped digital recordings.  But they are 
also a great educational tool for the (honest) contest operator.  
The Time Machine makes a great magnet at hamfests to attract a crowd 
to your contest booth. It's rather uncanny at first to listen to RF 
coming from a tape recorder.  I recorded the first six hours of the
bottom of 20 meters during the 2004 WPX CW contest from my Tennessee
station, and I will be doing the same thing for Field Day.  I'm not 
affiliated with either company listed -- I just think these are very 
interesting tools for the contester.
