[CQ-Contest] Recording a contest: a suggestion

[Dave Thompson]

The CQ WW rules added the requirement that any station trying for Top 3 in any category must record both
transmit and received audio (two channels?). Questions have been brought up about audio level on receive, how to record the transmit audio, how to do this with SO2R and remote. I was wondering about matching times on the two channels so that what a station sends has an exact match on receive, and what about operators ears being better than the recording.

Perhaps a program to explain how this is done as I am sure many have no idea how to start. Most of us are contest operators not PC experts. Even being a PC expert leaves some things not solved.  My son works for a fiber optic competitor of CISCO and he said he had no idea how to do this.
