• Callsign location by Country. - 3 Updates

Callsign location by Country.

 I had some sucess extracting callsigns by postcodes from an old RSGB Callseeker dongle. I was trying to get data about hams in my local area. I remember it was tedious and repetitive but not a big enough dataset that developing automation was sensible.  But postcode data is available... <pete.sin...@gmail.com>

Tom M0LTE <t...@m0lte.uk>: Sep 04 10:43AM +0100 Iain-   You need to write a parser for the country file data into your environment of choice   Then you need to write logic which finds the ‘deepest’ match for the callsign you have, so you take into account all the possible exceptions first   Then you need to ensure you regularly update the country file data in your application   It isn’t a straight callsign list mapped to country- such a thing does not exist for the UK and never will, since our prefixes are variable by current location (and also are optional, apart from 2# calls). And there is no public list of active calls. So a rules based approach is the only practical way.     On Wed, 3 Sep 2025 at 21:24, Philip Gladstone <phi...@gladstonefamily.net> wrote:
