Thanks. I did wonder about that but carried out some experiments that
suggested it didn't matter which channel hung up first. I have two SIP
geographical numbers with different providers and I tried ringing one
from the other and got the same result no matter which handset I hung
up first.

Unfortunately, by the time the call gets to the h extension, the
original dialled number in ${EXTEN} is changed to "h" - so I won't be
able to carry out the desired logging there. Also, I suspect that
${DIALEDTIME} and ${ANSWEREDTIME} might be lost. That said, I'm only
interested in recording the accumulated time for outgoing calls via
one SIP trunk, so if I can tie that down with a channel name...

Some further experimentation is in order!

Thanks again,
