Some of the guys down there don't always identify the country.  I don't 
understand why this is.

Here is an excerpt from The Daily DX from September 6, 1999:

R1ANF/A -      SOUTH SHETLANDS - Oleg is currently active from the
                Chinese Antarctic base Great Wall until September 8th.
                QSL via RK1PWA, Nick Shapkin, P.O. Box 73, 164744
                Amderma, Arkhangelskaja, Russia.

Yes, it says until Sept. 8.  However, in the same bulletin on Nov. 9, it 
was reported his QTH was *still* S. Shetlands (IOTA AN-010).  Researching 
other bulletins indicates he moved from the Chinese to the Korean base, 
*still on S. Shetlands".  There is no further information.  Therefore, I 
stand by my conclusion that it counts as S. Shetlands.
