[CQ-Contest] RECORDING ON FT5000 FT2000 FT950

[Rudy Bakalov]

I have been wondering how can one prove that recording is indeed of what the operator hears? Just because the recording has two channels it doesn't mean that this is all the operator is listening to.

Further, how does the recording prove that there is no assistance? Or use of remote equipment? Or multiple operators over the contest period?

Except for log correction after the contest, recordings seem to be of very limited use.  Not to mention that contests are being recorded by SDRs on several continents.
