Field notes
Registration checks a callsign against callook.info, which the page identifies as backed by the FCC ULS; the resulting scope contains the callsign, license class, and check date. The page says AHRL uses the integration through ThoughtWave’s OAuth server, with an authorization-code flow using PKCE. Public third-party client registration is reserved for a later stage, which the project says will depend on real demand.
