[LCC] QSO Recording and publishing

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Thanks Scott! I have never seen this part of the rules before. I'll have to ask Ed (W0YK, the RTTY contest manager) when this started. The preliminary results for the WPX contest are out and it appears I will place 2nd in NA and 1st in the USA. I don't have a recording!

I guess I will need to learn how to make a recording in WriteLog sooner than later now. When I do, I will write a procedure and post it on rttycontesting.com. Man, the work never ends. I think I need to retire from my day job just to keep up on my hobby needs.

With rules like this, we'll all need an IT person on the contest team.

Don,

Here are the audio recording rules for CQ WW and CQ WPX.  The words are "must record"


https://www.cqwpx.com/rules.htm

C. Audio Recordings: Any single operator entrant (see VI.A.1) competing 
for a top three finish at the (a) World, (b) Continent, or (c) USA 
levels, must record the transmitted and received audio as heard by the 
operator for the duration of the contest operation. The recording must 
be in a common format (e.g., mp3) and should include the audio to each 
ear as a separate channel. The recording may be requested by the 
Committee within 90 days after the log deadline to help adjudicate the 
log. The recording files must be provided by the entrant within 5 days 
of the request. If no recording is made available, the Committee may 
reclassify or disqualify the entry.

C. Audio Recordings: Any single operator entrant (see V.A.1) competing 
for a top five finish at the (a) World, (b) Continent, or (c) USA 
levels, including Classic Overlay, must record the transmitted and 
received audio as heard by the operator for the duration of the contest 
operation. The recording must be in a common format (e.g., mp3) and 
should include the audio to each ear as a separate channel. The 
recording must be a continuous recording (not a recording of individual 
QSOs). Time “off the air” (when not transmitting or receiving) does not 
have to recorded. The recording may be requested by the Committee within 
120 days after the log deadline to help adjudicate the log. The 
recording files must be provided by the entrant within 5 days of the 
request. If no recording is made available, the Committee may reclassify 
to an appropriate category, reclassify to Administrative Check Log, or 
disqualify the entry.
