WB9BAD HAM

✅ Never issued — WB9BAD 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, 2001 as choice 10: not granted, that applicant got WB9WBA instead.

The FCC has no record of WB9BAD ever being issued.
