HBAL498, HBAL499, and quite a few other callsigns were connected to Loon LLC up until January 2021 when Loon began winding down. A few days ago I noticed a high-altitude balloon with the callsign HBAL498. I knew Loon had shut down so I did some searches on the internet and found that callsign was now being used by Raven Aerostar. I don't know if this is all new equipment or if they purchased Loon's assets. There is a balloon over Africa right now showing as HBAL297. FlightAware still has this operator as Loon. I have no idea if that is accurate.
