I started thinking that if he had a dial like a radio dial, instead of hearing signals from the air, he heard instead speech reading out call signs and may be frequencies of the spots, he could then use a simple to button interface on top of that dial to move his radio to that spot frequency and then record the entry in the log automagically.
Thinking about a way to simulate this, one could use the scroll wheel on a mouse to simulate the tuning dial on the spot display and left mouse button could trigger the radio frequency movement and the right button would load the log entry.
It's just a rough idea but it strikes me that it's also much friendlier for sighted people as well.
