[SFDXA] Christmas Isl

/From David VK3RU down under: WFWL/

Hi Bill,

Not sure about VK9X. The 2 by 1 callsigns have been recently issued for 
use only in contests. The prefix is either VK, VL or VJ followed by a 
state identifier and one letter. Importantly they can only be used in 
contests.

Looking at the database there is only one "9" contest callsign issued - 
VK9C.

Still I look at QRZ and there are a few people claiming VK9X. JA0JHQ, 
N1YC and PE7T for a start but I have no idea how that works.

I know a fella Lee VK3GK who has activated Cocos and Christmas Is back 
on 2017 where he used VK9CI and VK9XI. Interestingly I have been to both 
Cocos and Christmas back in my aviation days flight testing the VASIS 
approach lighting system. Fun days but a very long time ago.

Cheers
