[DXBase] Rotor Help

By mapping the callsign to the correct DXB prefix for that entity.
In the case of the D88S which is South Shetlands and not Antarctica.
In the case of D88S, change the Prefix column to VP8 South Shetlands.
This will then set your rotor to the proper direction.
Another that is similar is HF0POL, (I think that was the call)
which is the Polish base on Antarctica. Which has the DXB prefix of KC4.
This comes up frequently when the licensing entity uses 'creative'
licensing.
Another common problem is French administered locals such as St. Pierre et
Miquilon or French Guyana. We have been seeing calls for those with TO#XX
callsigns.
