Bill,
I wonder if the OP was referring JTDX rather than WSJT-X. There were
recent reports of Z6 Calls being incorrectly logged as ZA coming from
JTDX
From the latest JTDX release notes...
Discarded all changes done to Z6 prefix support: it has been
supported in all versions 18.1 and new changes violated WSJT-X protocol.

Hi Laurie,
maybe. We are well aware of the JTDX issues with unwise changes adding
new type 1 prefixes. After discussion with Igor he has reverted his
changes so that JTDX's type 1 prefix and suffix list matches those of
WSJT-X, WSJT, JT65-HF and MSHV again. Type 1 prefixes are fixed and only
really present to maintain backwards compatibility with the original
JT65 v1 protocol. Type 2 prefixes were introduced several years ago and
use a more generic source encoding that caters for all prefixes so long
as they fit a particular pattern, this includes ES, KC4 and Z6 which
were unnecessarily added to the type 1 prefix lists in JTDX.
