WI6OW HAM
✅ Never issued — WI6OW 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.
2x2 call: Advanced and Amateur Extra licensees can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Last requested Apr 30, 2025 as choice 2:
not granted, that applicant got NI6ON instead.
The FCC has no record of WI6OW ever being issued.
