I am trying to determine if there was anyone operating a ham station at a relatively specific location in Brooklyn during the years of around 1938 - 1941. It's nothing insidious or anything, we are just trying to determine the nature of some wires on a rooftop of a building in a picture taken around 1941. It is possible they could be antenna (not easy to tell from the old photo) and I figures one way to narrow it down would be to determine if there was anyone operating a ham station in that building during those years. Any ideas on how to find that out ? Are there any old callbooks from back then that have been digitized and can be searched by address ? Or would I have to acquire a print copy of an old callbook and search it manually ?
