@hensys Congratulations!

I should check again if I have worked Africa on SSB. I think I have done the rest, and I know I have on FT8.

It always strikes me as slightly odd that Antarctica is always excluded from the continent list... I'm guessing that it's considered too difficult.

@croyle @hensys I think that the ARRL list of continents considers it part of Oceana so that all of those scores of Pacific Island entities still belong to a continent. Calling Antarctica Oceana makes more sense than calling Pitcairn or Australia Antarctica I suppose.

As we all know, DCXX is a game, not a reflection of the real world.

I just checked and I DID get one SSB contact in Antarctica, from a Korean research base. LOTW counted it as Korea 😜

@W6KME @hensys That's too bad it counted as Korea! I always thought that based on that logic, perhaps satellite contacts should be used on whose sovereign territory they belong to. :) (Maybe they are, I don't know.)

I had an arctic contact last week I thin it was, and that counted as Russia, perhaps being a Russian op/base.

I get very excited from any Antarctic contact though, and I guess that's the real reward anyway.

@croyle
Last summer I had a QSO with DP0GVN german Neumayer III base. At least Clublog counts that as Antarctica contact.
