KA4RL HAM
✅ Never issued — KA4RL 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.
2x2 call: Advanced and Amateur Extra licensees can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Jan 11, 2021 as choice 1:
application dismissed.
The FCC has no record of KA4RL ever being issued.
