A club station license allows members of an amateur radio club to have a station operating under a club call sign. The license is granted only to the trustee of the club. It conveys no operating privileges.
To be granted a club station license, a club must have:
- A name
- A document of organization
- Management
- A primary purpose devoted to amateur service activities consistent with the FCC Rules
- At least four persons
- A license trustee designated by an officer of the club
- Trustee must hold an Amateur Extra, Advanced, General, Technician Plus or Technician Class operator license grant.
(See Section 97.5(b)(2) of the FCC Rules)
A club may apply for a club station license grant by filing with a Club Station Call Sign Administrator (CSCSA), an amateur radio organization that has agreed to provide voluntary, uncompensated and unreimbursed services for processing applications. If you are an amateur radio operator and would like to obtain a club station license, contact one of the CSCSAs below:
After the club station license has been granted, your club station license trustee may file an application for the vanity call sign
under the
request-by-list provision for the class of operator license the trustee holds. There is no limit to the number of club station license grants that can be held by the same club. Each club station license grant is eligible for a vanity call sign.
