I should say again that I told that possibly this is a problem ir better 
this was my  problem. I have left blank my wpxdeltd.txt because cq seems 
to accept everything (at least via eqsl) so I can not check if this is 
the problem or not.

I suppose since all AC9 and AC0 callsign licenses expired at some point and no new calls were issued, they met the 10 year rule and found themselves in this file (among other prefixes).
