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!

Well radio Nacional Arcangel is relativly rgulary heard here in Sweden, but
a common catch. I would say that your chances of hearing them increases the
farther south you live. R Nacional Arcangel only brodcasts for some few
hours every day. I don't remember exactly but they end their brodcast 23.30
UTC. And by the way for you who dont know it they brodcast on 15476 kHz.
Which is the other station? What frequency?

I dont know about that. Arcangel is mostly heard here in Swweden in the winter,
that is their summer. And i would imagine that they got conditions like the
northern part of Sweden in the summer 24 h of daylight.
