Comments: Updated information from ICES for ALKOR from GERMANY.

NOTE: DO NOT USE CODE= 06AK FOR ANY PLATFORMS.
The use of code 06AK has been deprecated to disambiguate the multiple platforms attributed, correctly and incorrectly, to 06AK. Do not use code 06AK to attribute data to a GERMANY platform ‘ALKOR’. Use instead the appropriate code for GERMANY platform NAME = ALKOR, COUNTRY NAME = GERMANY. The correct code for GERMANY platform ALKOR is 06A6, call sign = DBND.

NOTE: The correct code for data from platform ALKOR from Germany with callsign = DBIG operating from 1966-02-03 to 1990-04-19 is not yet approved by NOAA and ICES.
