I had not noticed it until you spotted it. Thanks. All nations who signed the treaty are likely to have designated some prefixes for the Antarctic in the past. Possibly this designation was used by DXBase some time ago. But now that Belgium has it "contest year rotation" we have run into the conflict. I don't know of an active Belgian base but I have seen maps of areas with various prefixes tagged to them. The (research) stations themselves will go inactive at times.
