[Logic] LOGic and Antarctica

[Carl Smidt]

My log displays CE9  =  Antarctica.

My prefix table states CE9 -- DXCC Antarctica (country whose base it is),
ie., Antarctica (Japan).

For example: CE9  --  Prefix KC4AAA --  DXCC Antarctica  --  Location:
Geographical South Pole.

Am I missing something or did I misunderstand the problem??
