AMSATers...
I'll say it again, "A contact is made when you fulfill whatever criteria you (or an event sponsor) agree it is. Do so honorably (like playing golf)."
This topic *will* come up periodically because we all feel that we all must agree. We do not.
For example: some people believe that machine decoding does not constitute a "real" QSO, so they do not use the JT-modes. However...they are happy to engage in a PSK31 or RTTY QSO...where the machine does real-time decoding for them.
You get the idea.
Please, re-read the first paragraph and find your peace with it.

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?
