[Dx4win] Radio Amateur Callbook going out of business

[David Tilley]

I got this e-mail a few days ago :



"The end of the line for Radio Amateur Callbook: Radio
Amateur Callbook is throwing in the towel and will cease publication of its
 CD-ROM Callbook product effective with its winter 2003 edition, which will
come out in November. "Due to accessibility to the FCC database via the Internet,
sales have declined to levels that make it unprofitable to publish future
editions," publisher Bob Hughes  announced in a recent news release. In 1997,
citing "rising costs and increasing demand for electronic publishing" the
company phased out its telephone-book-size paper North American and international
editions in favor of its CD-ROM product. The 1997 Callbook--the 75th edition--was
the last hard-copy version available. The Callbook began 

 publishing in 1920."

 Out of the sorrow, into the joy, where we'll dwell in the Highlands with Him evermore."
