[WriteLog] CQ WW CW station questions

Hope everything went well in the WW test over the weekend for everyone.  I 
have just a handful of call/location situations I can't resolve - perhaps 
someone can verify one or more of them for me.

1. R1ANN - Zone 38.  Russian Antarctic base, but Writelog identifies the 
call as being South Shetlands.  If I change the prefix to KC4 for 
Antarctica, it appears as "K" in the log with no points.

2. VK0DX - Zone 39.  Another Antarctic station, same comment as above.

3. ZM5JBN and ZM3PKK - Zone 14.  I strongly suspect these were Paraguay 
stations based on beam headings and their zone 14 sent.  Writelog identifies 
them as New Zealand.  Can't fine any reference to these calls or the ZM 
prefix for anything but New Zealand.  Maybe pirates, but does anyone know 
for sure?

4. IS9GPI - Zone 33.  Think this operation was from one of the islands 
classified as "African Italy" but can't find any reference to that call 
online.  Not one of the announced CQ WW expedition calls.  Shows up in log 
as Sardinia.  A pirate or does anyone have info on this one?

Thanks for any and all leads you can provide.
