What does VORW mean?

VORW signals a VOR that includes a voice channel. The W suffix specifies that the voice capability is provided remotely, meaning the two-way voice service is supplied from a remote facility rather than being co-located at the VOR site. This lets pilots access voice communications or information through the VOR’s associated voice channel. The other ideas don’t fit because a plain VOR has no voice capability, and “wide area coverage” refers to the navigational signal’s range rather than any voice function. So the key point is the presence of a remote voice capability indicated by the W.
