From FCC database snapshots (2004 → now). "Seen" dates are the first and last snapshot showing that address.
N2ELF in the Printed Callbooks, 1909–1997
From scanned copies of the printed callbooks (government lists from 1913, then the Radio Amateur Callbook to 1997), read by OCR, so names and streets can carry typos. Each line is one or more editions in a row showing the same name at the same address.
