W5CLI HAM

✅ Available for a vanity request — W5CLI was last held in the 1990s (license expired May 8, 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 Jul 14, 2017 as choice 2: not granted, that applicant got W5JEF instead.

Not in the FCC's online records (1999 → now), but held before then: see below.

Held Before 1999

W5CLI 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.
