About HamCall

The HamCall database has been available in several different forms over the years. It all began in 1982, when HamCall was first published in soft cover book form (US only) with 1,027 8.5x11, pages. It sold for $12.95. The hardcopy continued in 1983 and in 1984 we did the book for the ARRL.

In 1982 we also produced the first Name Index (sequenced by last name) and also the Geographical Index (sorted by State & City). These additional volumes were over 500 pages each. They sold for $25.00.These were updated and printed again in 1985.
