I remember someone using a VCR tape for audio recording from the radio.
He set the record time to six hours and when recording, would write down
the time in order to locate a desired segment at a later date.

How is the sound quality at such a slow tape speed? Speech may be
acceptable, but would music still be of good enough quality?


Use VHS HiFi. It records with an FM carrier. Excellent quality. Use
a cheap video camera to record a clock.

I used to do this all the time. I would record the video of the local
preview channel along with the audio. The preview channel had the time
displayed constantly.
