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:

Mike, It was Walt, WP4T 73, Rick WA4NVM Hello to the group - My recorder battery died during a pass of AO-51 yesterday (2/5/2011) I think the pass was approximately 18:53 UTC - it was a mainly east coast pass. I made a contact with WP3T, I believe, which is why I rely so much on my

I don't think the issue is whether or not you use a recorder, packet/psk31/rtty ops are not penalised because they have a computer record of the contact by virtue of the technology used for that mode. If a voice recorder is part of your shack, that's fine. The issue is having to ask others if
