Here is the most relevant section of 47 CFR: ![]() Why was my application dismissed then (after waiting 18 + then some days for the automated decision)? Where do we find the exact rules (and how they are actually implemented)? I don't suppose there is any official I can ask with some kind of dispute over their decision, or is there a way to argue a decision? But the call sign I was eying for is still not otherwise assigned and it was cancelled more than 2 years ago as of the date on my application. I thought a callsign becomes available if not claimed otherwise after 2 years of the cancellation date.īut apparently I am wrong. But since I am fluent in data, I downloaded the full data dump and went hunting and found some candidates. The web sites are misleading as they show the original expiration date next to the cancelled status. In my research I found that the case of cancelled is most likely. The only chance we have to get a concise 1x2 call sign (or by all means 2x1) is to get one that has been cancelled or expired and not renewed. I thought I understood the rules, but apparently I don't. I'm a US extra class, but a little late to the party, so to get a short 1x2 I have to fight it out at the vanity call sign fair.
