[ETSList] An end to an era...

[Ronald A. Loneker Sr. KA2BZS]

FYI from ARRL Newsletter

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.

Enjoy the weekend.. 73,  Ron
