[CQ-Contest] CX2DK CQWW checklog

[Scott Robbins]

Hi Jorge -
Recordings are requested by the log checkers to validate entry categories or other details about the contest operation. 
My advice for serious participants in CQWW is to review the rules before the contest starts, and assure that if you intend to field a competitive entry that everything asked for will be completed.  It is easy to record all 48 hours of a contest operation.  This has been discussed at length in this forum and others over the past 2 years.

ok, is in the rules, thats right, someone put this in the rule, nothing to do with radio, I take care of my radio and antennas, but someone add this, and maybe will add more things that have nothing to do with the station.
Just my dude, do you think is something wrong with CX2DK log, cheating? Or is just that he didn't record the contest?
Rules also say 
B. Observer Program: The Committee may request of any entrant to accept a visit by an observer during the contest. Failure to allow a Committee appointed observer full access to the station during the contest period may result in the entry being a Checklog

Did you sent any observer during 2016 contests?  The point if that CC is passing the responsibility for the participants, Any year we must do more and more things to participate

Marcelo:




Per section XII. C. of the rules if you are in a top 3 World or Continent claimed score for your entry category you are required to provide a recording of your operation, if asked.The CQWW log checkers wanted to hear a recording of your 2016 operation.  You  were unable to provide this.  We reclassified your entry as a checklog as a result.I was informed by the log checkers that you were also asked for a recording after the 2015 contest, and did not provide one.  The log checkers archived your reply email from after the 2015 contest stating you did not have a recording for that contest either, which I have reviewed.  This demonstrates to me you were both aware of the rule, and chose not to follow it.
