W8WGL HAM
✅ Never issued — W8WGL isn't in the FCC's public license data (which starts in 1999) or the 1993–2003 callbooks, and nothing in it blocks a vanity request. Calls like this are usually granted when requested.
1x3 call: Technician, General, Advanced and Amateur Extra licensees can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Sep 9, 2013 as choice 3:
not granted, that applicant got K8WGL instead.
The FCC has no record of W8WGL ever being issued.
