My first comment has to do with this message going to numerous reflectors.
That's probably not a good idea.  This sort of "broadcast" results in a lot
of bounced mail.

Second, is that regardless of where he actually was, when your log is
reviewed by CQ, it will be re-scored with the "official" countries file and
whether or not you decided it was South Shetland, or Antarctica, makes no
difference.  The official re-scoring will correct it and count it
roperly( or at least consistently across all logs).

Also, Antarctica (continent - not country) comprises 8 different zones and
numerous different country entities.  I suspect that the answer you were
given was equivalent to me responding that I'm in "North America" when I'm
operating from V2.

73,
Bob
