Hello All,

I would also suspect a miscopied call.  All 2X2 KG4's are only issued to 
Gitmo.  Further, I am not aware of WK having yet been issued--though will 
follow-up with the callsign admin on Gitmo to confirm.

FYI, a search of the FCC database is of no value.  Gitmo licenses are not 
issued by the FCC, but rather on-base by a callsign admin.  By way of 
example, my license is valid through 11/2006, yet I don't show in the FCC 
ULS service.  I had my callsign added to Buckmaster, and I also believe to QRZ.

73, Doug W4OX / KG4OX
