Where are all the birthdates?
The FCC no longer publishes birthdates, but the old FCC ones are still in our database. That means new callsigns or ones that are upgraded will not have a birthdate. Birthdates are often useful to distinguish between many people with the same first and last name, such as John Smith (over 180 in our database) or Robert Jones (over 150 in our database). If you know about how old the person is, you can narrow down your search quite a bit. Many hams choose to enter their birthdate through our Internet updater. These birthdates are then available as part of our database.
