Yes I am serious Yes it is a hobby. But also there are achievement awards. That are to some not worth anything but to others they are worth a LOT, it shows their skills and effectiveness of THEIR STATION! And THEIR OPERATING ABILITIES, Not copying the information, and getting the info from a third source is cheating in the purest form. And taints the achievements the rest of us have made by making the contact with our station alone.
Maybe I'm old skool on this, but to me unless you did everything yourself to make the contact, then you did not make the contact.
Simple,

I do not understand the tone of some of the comments on this simple question. Banned from awards for life? Seriously? It's a HOBBY. I think some people take this stuff way too seriously.
To answer the original posters question, K8YSE has several recording of the sats on his website:

And as a backup recorder, if you have a cell phone, it has a record or memo option.
