Isn't encouraging all these recordings open the door to post contest log
massaging too? The recording is there for the using.
Don't believe everything you hear.....Photoshop for audio.....

On audacity, you can do it automatically.
It's under "Chains" if anyone needs assistance drop me a note.
I took all 18,000+ files from Gerry's DVK machine.
Ran them through "Normalize" then ran them through the "Equalize" with the mic
freq response of the Heil HC-4 mic element.
Like I said 18K files and only a few mouse clicks.

I may be the last contester on the planet to discover this, but Audacity offers
some truly incredible capabilities for our purposes. Most folks are probably
aware that you can use it to normalize all your recordings to the same peak
level, but did you know that you can also use it to speed up or slow down
recorded speech without significantly changing how your voice sounds?
I tend to speak slowly when I try to enunciate clearly, and the resulting
recordings lack a sense of urgency. By using Audacity's Speed and Pitch
altering routines (on the Effects menu) I have been able to speed up recorded
speech by as much as 40 percent while retaining my intonation and phrasing. In
other words, it still sounds like me, just in more of a hurry.
It's a 2-step process for each file, but I anticipate that the result will be
well worthwhile, particularly when I run in a phone contest. It's not the time
saved, but the impression of the op on the other end that you really want to go
fast, causing the op to stick around and call again.
