Close but no cigar (g).  It's a short wave listening call sign.  These calls
are not recognized by the government as in this country we don't need a license
to listen to the radio (though there are countries where/ you do) Two private
groups offer call signs to interested swl's.  One gives out calls that begin
WDX and the other Kss where ss is the 2-letter abbr. for your state of
residence.  For both, the digit following matches FCC assignments.  I do
occasionally listen in on the ham bands but I'm primarily interested in
listening to short wave broadcasts.  Radio Canada International is one of my
faves, and I like to listen to the music on Africa No. 1 in Gabon and the
Spanish broadcasts of Radio Habana Cuba.
