      Wow,
when did using someone elses station, be a valid qso for YOUR own station?
Wow,  I guess I can call every person i hear off the moon but can't copy 
and then just ask W5UN for a recording of all my contacts so they will 
be good contacts.  Even tho I diddn't get any calls correct at MY 
station, I was able to correct all my mistakes by using a recording from 
HIS station,  yeah that sounds valid for sure.
I do not have any problems with recording your qso nd after the pass 
fill in the gaps with stuff ya forgot.  or I'll even give ya a stretch 
stuff ya missed.
But when it involves a third partys station  then it is NOT a valid QSO.

Hi Ed and Nigel,
I agree this is reasonable as well.  I don’t see an issue with using someone
else's recordings because your batteries died, as long as you heard the QSO,
repeated the other station's call back, etc., as I said in my original
email.  If you aren't for sure if the station came back to your call or if
he confirmed he heard you because you lost the bird or went behind a tree,
then that's a different story.
I also think it's good to have a little grace - we can't expect a
first-timer to the sats to jump on and copy and repeat all call signs 100%.
When I first started, all I said was a "QSL," or "copy that."  I imagine I
frustrated a few ops who were wondering who I was QSLing. ;-)
73,

I don't think the issue is whether or not you use a recorder,
packet/psk31/rtty ops are not penalised because they have
a computer record of the contact by virtue of the technology used
for that mode. If a voice recorder is part of your
shack, that's fine.
The issue is having to ask others if they heard your QSO and can
tell you the details.
If you chose technology to help you, fine. If your technology fails,
so does the QSO. It's not acceptable to expect the
rest of the world to be your log keeper.
I agree with this!
