Ran across an old QSL card from an old dude in my town. His call don't show up in the database. What does that mean? Can it become a Vanity?
I just helped a friend who just got licensed obtain his deceased Uncle's call sign.What if someone croaks and still has 9 years left on license span? Can you send proof of said croaking and shorten that time?
I didn't read the first post but that call should be available when the grace period expired and not in the database.

I used ae7q.com when I researched and during application of my vanity. I just got a 2x2 but it's much better than my previous 2x3.
One day when a decent K9 1x2 becomes available I'll jump in the fire with the other hundred dudes and apply for a new vanity..
All 1x2's and most 2x1's are luck of the draw. The more apps the less your chance. The good ones with either double (same) letters or the strong phonetic or strong cw weighted ones are the hardest...I'd like to to have a 1x2, but aren't they hard to get?
Almost next to impossible. There's probably Hams checking those sites daily just waiting for those to come up then it's a bit of a lottery with many requests for them.I'd like to to have a 1x2, but aren't they hard to get?
