WA5SSS HAM
✅ Never issued — WA5SSS 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.
2x3 call: any licensee can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Feb 26, 2002 as choice 13:
not granted, that applicant got WA5LGG instead.
The FCC has no record of WA5SSS ever being issued.
