Hello Alastair,

K9W has been added to the Wake Island list in the most recent cty.dat 
file, which will be included in the next xlog release (or a more recent 
one if it exists).  I can see it specifically in the 20131009 release, 
and there is one release more recent.

One can get this file for themselves from here:
http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat

grep VER cty.dat
(shows the version of the file)

Put the file in this location:
/usr/share/xlog/dxcc/cty.dat
OR
/usr/local/share/xlog/dxcc/cty.dat
depending upon where your xlog has been installed.

Have a lot of fun, and 73,

Andy
