WWDJ 1150

[Dan.Strassberg]

I suspect that the answer is yes--some station proably has had more
than 12 call signs--but I don't know how you could prove it as a
practical matter. The FCC does maintain some records on previous call
signs, but AFAIK, the records are both incomplete and not organized in
a way that would facilitate a search by number of call-sign changes. I
think, rather, the records are organized by call sign, If you know a
call sign and know how to use the database, you can find a listing of
stations that used the call sign and dates when it was used by various
stations. However, I believe it has been shown that the early records
are incomplete and sometimes inaccurate. So if someone knows of a
station that has had more than 12 call signs, you could prove that AT
LEAST one station has had more than 12 call signs, but you still
wouldn't know what the record is and which station holds it.
