There are two sites, one is leehite.org/callbooks.  Forgot what the 
other was but if you do a search for 1953 Radio Amateur Call book it 
will show up.  Run  by a W0 iirc.  I think they are the same call books 
just presented in a different format.  And yes, W0MAG does show up in 
the Fall 1953 book.  I've been thru a lot of those since the 1947 issue 
looking for that call.

I was wondering if the QCWA might have a bunch of them.  Thanks to those 
of you who responded.
