I have a Digital Voice Recorder that can hold 4 hours on the visor. So I just push the record button and start talking.
Then later, I go back and update the log and send out QSL Cards.
I also use a DVR for logging mobile contacts, but I don't record
everything. I make a recording at the start of the QSO with callsign,
frequency, signal reports, and anything else I want to mention. I make
another recording at the end of the QSO. This works well for me since my
DVR timestamps recordings. I have the clock set to UTC, of course.
I've been thinking that a neat project would be to build my own DVR that
includes a CI-V interface so that it can automatically record the
frequency and mode as well as the time. Have one button that would
record the frequency, mode and time along with a voice recording on the
first push; subsequent button pushes could append to the voice
recording. A second button would simply log the end time without
requiring a voice recording at all. I doubt I'll ever bother doing it,
but it's fun to think about...
