In the Australian case, it's very specific:

     VK + digit + F + 3-letter suffix

Maybe this should also be allowed:

     AX + digit + F + 3-letter suffix

I can understand the reluctance to support such a specific callsign 
structure, but the damage *can* be contained.

I do sometimes see guys logged in with portable calls that somehow "fit" 
(but I can't come up with a specific example at the moment).  Aren't 
these callsigns longer than 6 characters?  How are they allowed to spot, 
etc.?
