Kudos to you for the practice of listening for a long time before you try to "get on" the birds. Getting your "ears tuned" and getting an idea how good contacts go (and probably hearing some bad practices too!) will make you a better operator!
Good luck and 73,

I'm sure there are no rules or laws against sharing a recording that you made of Amateur transmissions. We are, after all, prohibited from obscuring or encrypting our communications (except in one very special case- space telecommand).
I do notice that you have your squelch enabled. Due to the weakness of FM satellites, I find it most useful to leave the squelch off (open), even if it does create a bunch of racket without a strong signal present.
