[Boatanchors] Callbook question

[K0DAN]

Hard to imagine...but everything was manual...looking up domestic and 
foreign hams (two separate Callbooks you had to buy), writing QSL cards, 
filing them, keeping track of who your worked, what you needed, etc. Hardly 
much time to operate! In addition, it was typical that MANY of the addresses 
in Callbooks were out of date even at the time of publication. What was 
nice, in those days, was if you worked, say, a W3, you could be pretty sure 
he was physically located in 3-land !
