K5KBN HAM
✅ Never issued — K5KBN isn't in the FCC's public license data (which starts in 1999) or the 1993–2003 callbooks, and nothing in it blocks a vanity request. Calls like this are usually granted when requested.
1x3 call: Technician, General, Advanced and Amateur Extra licensees can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Sep 27, 2000 as choice 8:
application dismissed.
The FCC has no record of K5KBN ever being issued.
