KA5ERO HAM
✅ Never issued — KA5ERO 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 Nov 19, 2018 as choice 2:
not granted, that applicant got KW5KRP instead.
The FCC has no record of KA5ERO ever being issued.
