KO6pt

KO6PT is a United States amateur radio call sign used to identify a licensed operator during radio communications. Call signs function as unique identifiers in the amateur service, and are issued and regulated by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The combination KO6PT appears in official licensing records and on air, within the operator's license privileges.

Format and allocation: In the United States, call signs typically begin with K or W, followed by a combination of letters and, in some cases, digits. KO6PT conforms to this pattern, with a K-prefix and a five-character suffix. The exact meaning of the letters and digits is determined by historical allocation and the FCC's current rules, and the sequence serves as a unique registration within FCC records.

Vanity and licensing: Operators may request specific call signs as vanity allocations if they are available. KO6PT would be issued by the FCC through the Universal Licensing System (ULS) or its predecessors, and remains associated with the holder's license. Transfers or changes of license may result in a different call sign, subject to FCC procedures.

Usage and presence: A radio operator using KO6PT would be listed in logs, QSL records, and public call-sign databases. The call sign enables identification across bands and modes and is used in contests, emergency exercises, and routine communications.
