Narrative:

I, the first officer, was flying captain monitoring radios as PNF. Being vectored for a DME arc transition to ILS 8 at cwa, wisconsin. ZMP told us to call them letting them know where we are on the localizer, apparently we both missed the call and captain switched over to tower at cwa without informing ZMP were inbound. Upon landing cwa tower gave us ZMP phone number to call back on for captain to speak too. Returning later to mke we were speaking to the same controller and captain apparently straightened out the problem I think. Minneapolis desired a callback to say we were on localizer inbound because of a cessna minneapolis stated was also somewhere inbound on localizer luckily already speaking to cwa tower.

Narrative: I, THE FO, WAS FLYING CAPT MONITORING RADIOS AS PNF. BEING VECTORED FOR A DME ARC TRANSITION TO ILS 8 AT CWA, WISCONSIN. ZMP TOLD US TO CALL THEM LETTING THEM KNOW WHERE WE ARE ON THE LOC, APPARENTLY WE BOTH MISSED THE CALL AND CAPT SWITCHED OVER TO TWR AT CWA WITHOUT INFORMING ZMP WERE INBOUND. UPON LNDG CWA TWR GAVE US ZMP PHONE NUMBER TO CALL BACK ON FOR CAPT TO SPEAK TOO. RETURNING LATER TO MKE WE WERE SPEAKING TO THE SAME CTLR AND CAPT APPARENTLY STRAIGHTENED OUT THE PROB I THINK. MINNEAPOLIS DESIRED A CALLBACK TO SAY WE WERE ON LOC INBOUND BECAUSE OF A CESSNA MINNEAPOLIS STATED WAS ALSO SOMEWHERE INBOUND ON LOC LUCKILY ALREADY SPEAKING TO CWA TWR.
