[Elecraft] Recording CQ WW CW and SSB

[Wes (N7WS)]

I believe it was within the last year:

"*C. Audio Recordings:* Any single operator entrant (see V.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."
