WA9JOW HAM
✅ Never issued — WA9JOW 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.
2x3 call: any licensee can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Jan 18, 2008 as choice 2:
not granted, that applicant got W9JOW instead.
The FCC has no record of WA9JOW ever being issued.
