From now on I'm just going to put my call out there on the satellite and

ANY station that also puts their call out, will be considered a contact... (Tongue in cheek)

I live in RI. If I try to work a station in AK or HI, I have to make sure I get their call AND grid correct, otherwise its a busted contact and a struggle to work them again. Using a recorder is good for logbook updates, but if I were to realize I got their call wrong, you bet I'm emailing them to set up a sked for a redo! It's the same thing for HF contacts...

Im not here to argue, just answer a question. You're going to do what you're comfortable with. It's just a hobby - some people forget that. You didn't hear the call or grid right the first time? Work 'em again - it's moe funner that way!
