Question for the ATC guys.
I've heard (and probably said) a few stupid/inappropriate things on the CTAF when our local tower has been closed. Yesterday there was an exchange between two pilots regarding the runway in use (and in follow up, who was going to do what, where and to whom) that had me concerned from both safety and FAR perspectives. It got me to wondering if smaller towers keep an audio record when in operation. And, more to the point, do they keep an audio record of CTAF chatter when closed?
