WIA callbooks in electronic format
#3
Terry

Thanks for the link. I have downloaded a few and they might be OCR-able but probably needing a fair effort to be useable. The yellowing on the earlier files/copies matches the 1978 International paper copy I have had since new but reduces the image contrast. Useable : don't know, but at least the OCR software is better now than it was only a few years ago.

Worst comes to worst, I will have to dig out some of my old WIA callbooks and OCR the callsign lists in them - if I want to continue with the project.

 In the meantime, anyone else have electronic file copies of the WIA callbooks ?  (PDF/RTF..)

TIA

Doug

PS: Edit :  Just had a go at OCR-ing from a couple of the Foreign Callbook PDFs - probably about 20% readable, so realistically not useable.
