WB9BWI HAM
✅ Never issued — WB9BWI 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.
The FCC has no record of WB9BWI ever being issued.
WB9BWI in the Printed Callbooks, 1909–1997
