Need A QSL Address?

Wow, do I know how that goes!

If you are looking for an address for a call sign issued by the FCC for a station in the United States (or one of its territories), click here.

If you are looking for an address for a call sign issued by any other country, click here.

This page is provided as a service to all Amateur Radio Operators. Feel free to make it a link on your home page or to add it to your FAVORITES list. While every effort is made to keep this page current, sometimes web sites move. If you find a link that does not work or if you know of another link I should add, please send me an e-mail.

73 and good DX de WAØKS - Rick Carver - Shawnee, KS.

Start Here to Search for a US Call Sign

Use these search engines to find call signs, except 1 X 1 Special Event calls, that begin with AA-AK, K, N, or W. This form links to the US Call Sign Database at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. It is updated daily from the FCC Database.

If you are looking for a Special Event 1 X 1 call sign issued by the ARRL, click here. Apply for one here.

  • Type only the call sign, such as wa0ks. Do not add special designators on the end, such as wa0ks/m, wa0ks/mm, wa0ks/130, and so on. Do not add DX or portable operation designators, such as wa0ks/kh3 or wa0ks/7.

  • Type all characters in lower case, such as wa0ks, not WA0KS. Type only letters and numbers. Do not type characters or blank spaces.

To Locate a US-Issued call sign:

Callsign: (exact match only)

Name: (last name first No Middle Initial)

City: (partial allowed)

State: Zip Code: (partial allowed)

Maximum records to return

No Luck Yet?

Here are a couple of other call sign databases:

  • Buckmaster's World Wide Call Server, click here. This is a good souce for US and DX calls.

  • FCC Daily Licensing Activity by state, click here. This is a good souce for checking on new licenses, upgrades, and vanity calls.

  • QRZ.com click here. This is another good souce for US and DX calls.

Still No Luck?

If you haven't found it by now, you probably copied the call incorrectly or you worked a bootleg station. Keep checking back, but chances are poor for making a QSL exchange with this station. Good Luck!
