About

The hamcall package and command line utility is designed for ingesting and searching amateur radio callsign databases. Right now it only supports data from the US FCC ULS database, however.

Installation

pip install hamcall

Usage

Initializing the database

$ hamcall -I

Loading the database

Grab the weekly amateur license database snapshots (not the application snapshot) from the FCC Database webpage, and unzip it into a DIRECTORY. Then load the data from that directory:

$ Hamcall -L DIRECTORY

Searching the database
