W6QQR HAM
✅ Available for a vanity request — W6QQR was last held in the 1990s (license expired Mar 27, 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 2, 2001 as choice 2:
not granted, that applicant got WB6QQR instead.
Not in the FCC's online records (1999 → now), but held before then: see below.
Held Before 1999
W6QQR 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 W6QQR
· Advanced · issued Mar 27, 1984, expires Mar 27, 1994

From scanned copies of the printed callbooks (government lists from 1913, then the Radio Amateur Callbook to 1997), read by OCR, so names and streets can carry typos. Each line is one or more editions in a row showing the same name at the same address.
