The question arises, how to organize the station presets logically.

The AORs have variable bank size and several 3rd party applications
for organizing memories.

RxPlus receiver control software seems to support computer managed
presets for the Drake R8B:

The Mem Panel offer a simple interface to the R8 memories which
allow for easy recalling, storing erasing and naming of the R8B
memories .

However, that doesn't necessarily mean that you don't need a strategy
to logically organize the frequency presets.

Not sure I'd want to do it long-hand.

I know what you mean. Unfortunately the receiver control program that
I use, SWLog, doesn't support receiver memory manipulation. It
doesn't even support the Drake R8B's VHF tuning range. But it is
stable, unlike RsPlus, and SWLog does a lot of other things well.
