W3LPK HAM
✅ Never issued — W3LPK 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.
1x3 call: Technician, General, Advanced and Amateur Extra licensees can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Jul 15, 2008 as choice 3:
not granted, that applicant got N3LPK instead.
The FCC has no record of W3LPK ever being issued.
