Callsigns

A program that generates available 5-digit callsigns that look like English words

To use this, you need to have the HS.dat database of callsign events from the FCC, available at ftp://wirelessftp.fcc.gov/pub/uls/complete/l_amat.zip.

You will also need The Haskell Stack (or plain old GHC if you prefer).

To build, run stack build. You can stack install if you want it on your system path.

To run, run stack exec callsigns. You must have HS.dat from l_amat.zip in the same directory. The program will look for a list of English words at /usr/share/dict/web2 - please change this path if you want to use an alternate wordlist. The program will also try to use plurals and words with a single letter missing.

With HS.dat at 154MB, it takes my laptop a bit under 1 second to find all available English-ish callsigns.
