I don't know why you fella's are recommending old technology like a tape

It's like recommending to a fella that want's a new auto to buy a wagon like
they dragged across the prairies in the old days.
All the serious DXer's I know moved on to more modern technology years ago.

I personally use a Sony MiniDisc that is quite fantastic compared with a
tape recorder, but many of my U.S. DX buddies have moved further forward to
using MP3 solid state recorders with great results.

I have a Zenith recorder hooked to my TV; it handles both dvd and vhs
recording. I use dvd for permanent stuff, movies. I use vhs to just
casually time-shift a football game or something. The old technology
is easier for us old farts :-)
