    no I dont,m but i did find some packet tnc doors that allows you to use a tnc from a bbs lol.

    is it an online callbook that has an api like qrz?

    if so, it may be simple to build one.

    if you have more info then i'd be willing to take a look

    regards

    The US FCC has an API for doing lookups of the ULS and it's free.
    But it doesn't give any kind of info that would be useful for like QSL.

    I did write a Python script for my Mystic BBS that can download the FCC database, and then do a call sign search. It's all flat text file based so not as fast as a SQL search would be. But it kinda works.

    Can you send me info on those doors for using a TNC on the BBS? I've been thinking about writing something like that for Mystic in Python. But if I don't have to reinvent the wheel, I'm down.

    This sounds really cool! Would you mind sharing your script?

    This isn't coming up for me, do you have the repository marked as
    private? Also, before changing it, make sure you don't have any
    sensitive information in the repo or commit history.

    Looks like you fat-fingered the repo name... ;-)

    https://github.com/mobbyg/hamserach

    can rename in the settings tab...
