Russell,

You can pull data from the /var/log/asterisk/astdb.txt file for each node
number and use that data to give more info about the nodes.

Something to be aware of however, is that the astdb.txt file data
"quality" isn't fantastic, since users are allowed to basically enter
free-form data on the ASL portal site.  Also, there are even cases where 
the node Trustee's callsign is missing, which IMO is not good.

Here is a simple bash example to extract the callsign column from this
file for node 2286:

NODE=2286

ASTDB="/var/log/asterisk/astdb.txt"

CALL=$(awk '-F|' '$1 ~ /^'$NODE'$/ {print "callsign: "$2}' < $ASTDB)

echo $CALL
