Default CTAF tapes

When a part time tower is closed and the freq. becomes CTAF do transmissions still get recorded?

I'm thinking that there has to be a good story behind that question.

I used to fly out of a class D airport with a part time tower and when I asked this question many years back, I got "yes and no".

When the tower is closed for the day, they do stop recording radio transmissions, but...

There are a few minutes between the tower closing/opening and the time the controller turns the tapes off/on when transmissions are still recorded.


I am with everyone else...got to be a story behind this one...do tell!
