Can a GMRS licensee request a vanity call sign?

 

Thanks...

Nope. Does not exist. Vanity calls are unique to amateur radio.

Not that I know of. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

 

For instance, the British Indian Ocean Territory has a strict rule that all ham call signs must be 2 by 2, that is VQ9xx. I asked the governor if I could have a call sign matching my US call sign. He very graciously assigned me VQ9H.

 

I would suggest that you do not register on line using the ULS. Fill out a paper copy of the application, enclose your payment and a very nice polite letter saying why you would like a certain call. This is what worked before the FCC established a formal process for Amateur Vanity Call Signs and is what commercial stations still use.

There is no "request a vanity callsign" link in the ULS for GMRS licenses like there is for amateur radio.
