Callbook Records, 1993–2003
From the FCC amateur database as published on the QRZ! callsign CD-ROMs, 1993–2003, before and alongside the FCC's online records (which start in 1999). "Seen" dates are the first and last disc showing that record; the issue date is the FCC's, so it can be a renewal of an even older license.
Address history
From FCC database snapshots (2004 → now). "Seen" dates are the first and last snapshot showing that address.
