I can't make any recommendations to them now since I dropped membership
after they started the incentative licensing fiasco AKA segregation and
sequestration of frequencies that were available to licensees prior to
A.R.R.L.'s idea.

Wayne Green W2NSD called it "restricted voice band" in His 73 Magazine
comments in the early 1960's about the RM-499 partition to the FCC.

And Wayne said something about the League wanting to return the Rules
back to how they were pre-1951.

I didn't get interested in Shortwave Listening or Ham Radio until 1955
so I don't know how the Rules were back then.

Wayne went to His reward (SK) on September 13, 2013 .

Nope, I was talking about using QRZ.COM to look up the mailing address
for a Ham by entering their Call Sign in a Search Box on the website.
I mistakenly typed Handbook where I meant Callbook, Sorry for the typo.

The Radio Amateur Callbook magazine she found for me was the 1980 issue
for the U.S.A.
IIRC they also published a edition for Call Signs outside the U.S.A.

Have You ever thumbed through a Callbook?
