What a bunch of dicks. they have no funding so instead of leaving it alone, they take the time to remove the data.

FCC has removed all the call sign look up pages

It is a joke on all of us at this point. The fed workers will spend lots of time on these things and in the end it is just a paid vacation at our expense.
Bureaucracy at it's finest, some how it is possible to effeciently maximize the perils of a shutdown... The FCC will largely be replaced by AI and the Idiocracy will help it come about faster... You can't fix stupid...
There are several other on-line databases for searching a callsign. Doubtful that very many amateurs are using Uncle Charlie's website for that purpose.
My God. . . I haven't seen the phrase, "Uncle Charlie,". used in like forever.

qrz.com gets their callsign info directly from the FCC for US amateurs. Unless the data is still available for uploading to qrz, even that option will be affected.
Yes they do. It's not a failsafe replacement but QRZ says they upload available data weekly so the site seems to stay a safe bet for day-to-day ordinary callsign searches, not in-depth research on a station's record of operation/violations. So it's not the end of the world if the government doesn't hold our hands for a while.
