Its a dead loss. The WIA's guidelines on callsigns are not very clear.

If the callsign is available you should have the right to apply for
it, just like when the ACMA administered the callsigns. These
callsigns are clearly not allocated on the first come first serve
basis, but on some other arbitrary set of rules that nobody knows.

Or one could just take whatever callsign that was issued by the FCC, and
live with it.
