KA3FTU HAM
✅ Never issued — KA3FTU 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.
2x3 call: any licensee can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Sep 30, 2002 as choice 4:
not granted, that applicant got W3FTU instead.
The FCC has no record of KA3FTU ever being issued.
