Dave,
If you're serious about it, consider a multitrack home studio recorder.
Tascam, Yamaha, and Akai all make them, but the cost is close to $1000.
These are sophisticated machines, with large hard disks and multiple signal
conditioning capabilities, including DSP.
MP3 seems like with way to go for compressing files. The easiest and
cheapest way to do this is with a MP-3-capable minidisk recorder (about
$200). You can convert computer .wav files to MP3, and download them onto a
minidisk and listen to them directly from the minidisk. You can put over 20
hours on one minidisk, and given the relative low density and bandwidth of CW
signals, you likely would get more than 24 hours on one minidisk.
