Dennis:

 

With the following information will it be possible to interface QRZ or
Buckmaster or the WEB to show the county when you log. The callbook
interfaces great but the others to date do not. When using them you have
to manually put it in whereas with the callbook it is automatic. Is
there a logform available that will do this in the other callbook
programs. It is a nice feature while tracking awards for counties.

>From the ARRL webnews in brief:

 

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.
