W4PQL HAM
✅ Available for a vanity request — W4PQL was last held in the 1990s (license expired Apr 20, 1994), 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.
Last requested Mar 21, 2022 as choice 2:
not granted, that applicant got K4PQL instead.
Not in the FCC's online records (1999 → now), but held before then: see below.
Held Before 1999
W4PQL 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 Sep 9, 1993 → Apr 21, 1996 · 6 discs W4PQL
· Advanced · issued Apr 20, 1984, expires Apr 20, 1994
