[CQ-Contest] VC44X in WPX

[Paul J. Piercey]

I'm pretty sure that VC44X is a valid call. In Canada, our callsigns are
structured such that the first 2 characters have to be letters, followed by
a digit and then followed by up to 4 characters, which can be letters or
digits. This makes VC4 the prefix and 4X the suffix.
