[CQ-Contest] CQWW Contest Committee comments on audio recordings (was MM3AWD) DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL 04.02 It is not the practice of the CQWW Contest Committee to respond publicly to comments about individual entries. After discussion within the committee, the following short memo was deemed appropriate. 1. As with all requests for an audio file, this log contained a number of unusual events and QSOs. 2. Using our globally placed SDR network (which copied MM3AWD perfectly well) we did not hear those QSOs take place, so he was asked for a recording. 3. A recording was not provided, so the Contest Committee took the action of exercising Rule XII (C), which states: "If no recording is made available, the Committee may reclassify to an appropriate category, reclassify to Administrative Check Log, or disqualify the entry." http://cqww.com/rules.htm 4. Of the three options available, Administrative Check Log was deemed the most appropriate. We don't ask everybody in the "top 5" for a recording. We need something suspicious or curious. Please see the July 23, 2017 BLOG, item #4: http://cqww.com/blog/2017-cqww-rules-upd ate-announcement/ Here is an excerpt from the blog: [Editorial comment: It is important to note a few things about the “recording” rule. First, 2016 was not the first year for this rule. Second, the committee does not and will not request a recording simply because an entrant is in the top 5. The committee will request a recording when something suspicious or curious in the log is identified by the committee. This can be a statistical flag or something identified after human review. The committee does not request a recording in an attempt to “go fishing” for something “out of the blue” or “without reason.” If you are not breaking the rules or trying to stretch the rules beyond the letter and/or spirit of the rules, you are probably not going to be asked for a recording.] It would be helpful to any discussion on CQ-Contest if the commenters would be familiar with the CQWW Rules before jumping to and posting irrational conclusions.

Ze względu na brak nagrania z zawodów wynik MM3AWD nie został uznany. Komisja nie jest w stanie zweryfikować szeregu qso podpierając się danymi z odbiorników sdr. Do tego przydatne było by nagranie ze stacji MM3AWD. Warto o tym pamiętać i nagrywć zawody. |
