WB5AI HAM
✅ Never issued — WB5AI 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.
2x2 call: Advanced and Amateur Extra licensees can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Feb 1, 2018 as choice 3:
not granted, that applicant got WA5AI instead.
The FCC has no record of WB5AI ever being issued.
