I was looking through the World Radio Television handbook, and noticed
that there are two Antarctica stations.  It certainly would be nice to
get verifications from every continent!  How difficult is it to tune
into these from N. America?  If it's possible, what sort of equipment
is necessary?

I also wonder if it's possible to use grey-line conditions to help out
here.  Antarctica should have dawn and dusk-like conditions for
several weeks each year!
