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.
