 Hello all –  
 I just published new
 simple, no-nonsense, free, call-sign lookup service:
 Here’s how to get to it and use it. 
    
 Examples : 
 1.      
 http://call.n0agi.com/?c=N0AGI 
 provides a line
 formatted output of lookup data. Simply call the url w/
 “?c=”
 followed by call sign in question 
  
    
 2.      
 http://call.n0agi.com/?c=N0AGI&f=0 
 the
 “&f=0” format param offers a one
 line, pipe separated detail.  It spits out a header by
 default. 
  
  
    
 Some details behind the
 scenes: 
 a.      
 Web service/page and the guts behind this
 service is hosted on RASPI Debian as a web farm
 infrastructure.  Currently, albeit, there’s just
 one RASPI holding the fort :) 
 b.     
 Uses nginx and php5 for web ops 
 c.      
 Uses crontab to run job services 
 d.     
 Uses grep/awk to parse data and provision
 output 
 e.     
 FCC data is pulled daily overnight into the
 web farm 
 f.       
 Data is currently for US/Americas only. 
 Plans are to expand to other zones soon 
 g.      
 Other formats in the play to come soon. XML,
 JSON 
    
 I hope this will be useful
 to all and kindly drop me a note on your feedback, ideas,
 etc. or if you run into any problems accessing it 
    
 Thanks all
