Okay that makes sense, tnx. That's previously stated. That's what I wanted
to know so I can take a reasonably close guess when Prefixing searching.
BTW
Here are my Malpelo QSO's, maybe it will help data base :
Date Time Band Mode Call sign
Country Conf Label Zone QSL Date QSL Mgr Callsign Notes QSO

The simple answer is that if a sub-prefix can be specified that is unique to
that DXCC entity (i.e. PY0F, PY0S, PY0T or VK9W, VK9L, VK9C), then that
prefix (without the slash) is used as the "reference"
prefix. HK0M is not a unique prefix for Malpelo; in fact, other than HK0TU,
and an HK5/0 that was on a few years ago, I don't know that any other
callsign has been used from there. HK0 is/was also used from San Andres,
Bajo Nuevo and Seranna Bank. So that is why the / notation is used. Same
for VP8s, E5, FO, etc.
