I noticed the other day that Ian, G3ZHI had made the UK Callbook data available from his website. Ian had applied to OFCOM to release the data under licence and his application had been approved.
The data can be downloaded in Excel format, so I quickly downloaded the data and imported it into an Access database which allows me to run queries on the data (eg by callsign, or by postcode).
For a bit of fun, I added some functionality that you can press a button on the screen and it will draw a map of where a particular station is, based on the postcode.
No big deal and I'm sure that others will have done the same sort of thing. If you enjoy this sort of challenge, you can download the callbook data from Ian's website.
