WP4BEV HAM
✅ Never issued — WP4BEV 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 Aug 3, 2000 as choice 12:
not granted, that applicant got K4AYQ instead.
The FCC has no record of WP4BEV ever being issued.
