N5KYC HAM
✅ Available for a vanity request — N5KYC was last held in the 1990s (license expired Nov 2, 2003), 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.
Not in the FCC's online records (1999 → now), but held before then: see below.
Held Before 1999
N5KYC 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 May 3, 1994 → Apr 21, 1996 · 5 discs N5KYC
· Amateur Extra · issued Nov 2, 1993, expires Nov 2, 2003
