I’m with Casey on this. If you use the recording to confirm that you correctly heard and repeated back another station’s call sign then it’s a valid contact. If the recording is used after the fact to deduce whose voice you heard...it was not a valid contact by definition. NateN5LEX

Casey,
I made a legitimate contact with the other OP. If my using Audacity to clean up the audio and verify the contact and his grid bothers you, so be it.
Next time, I'll be sure and check with you before I do anything.

If you have to listen to the recording to hear the call after the fact, then how did you make contact?
Cause you didn't hear it live as it happened, so then how the heck did you call the other Op by the correct call? since you didn't know the call till after the pass?

My personal opinion, post processing is not adding information to the recording, so do what you need to.

Yesterday, I used Audacity to clarify recorded audio of a contact and
pull
a callsign out of the mud. I recommend this freeware for satellite users.
Thanks Ron VE8RT for mentioning it!

It seems that recording contacts and translating them into the log
is
acceptable.
What about using post recording enhancements to pull call signs and grid squares out of the noise?
A younger person with uncompromised hearing would do a better job at picking out contact information, the arguement might be made that even high end hearing aids do some audio processing.
I just used Audacity to pull KJ7ATK's call out as Diawata-2 was low to my horizon, and his FM deviation was almost not there even though
he
had full quieting. I'll pass someone the recording if they'd like to hear it.
Grid squares are required, is there an alternative other than RST?
