[Logic] LOGic and Antarctica

[R Johnson]

Hi Jim:
Maybe this is a "Catch 22" situation !!!

LOGic7 does not have Antarctica listed on Continents list because the WAC
Award does not require it.

Because Antarctica is not a valid Continent, LOGic credits the QSO to
South America for WAC Tracking.

So maybe my question should be:
Should a KC4 QSO be credited to the Wrong Continent or a Non-Existent Continent ???
