K9UND HAM
✅ Available for a vanity request — K9UND was last held in the 1990s (license expired Dec 18, 2006), before the FCC's online records begin, so the two-year wait is long over. Confirm in the FCC's vanity system before applying.
1x3 call: Technician, General, Advanced and Amateur Extra licensees can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Feb 22, 2021 as choice 2:
not granted, that applicant got W9UND instead.
Not in the FCC's online records (1999 → now), but held before then: see below.
Held Before 1999
K9UND in the 1993–2003 Callbooks
From the FCC amateur database as published on the QRZ! callsign CD-ROMs, 1993–2003, before and alongside the FCC's online records (which start in 1999). "Seen" dates are the first and last disc showing that record; the issue date is the FCC's, so it can be a renewal of an even older license.
Seen Apr 4, 1997 · 1 disc K9UND
· Amateur Extra · issued Dec 18, 1996, expires Dec 18, 2006
· previously N9DKR(Advanced)
