How to see my Yahoo US ads from outside the USA

Is there an easy way?

I have a US based Yahoo ad program and want to see who my competition is the the USA. I live in South America and have only US & Canada activated to show ads.

With Google you simply ad an activator to the end of the URL string to see ads in each country.

What can I do to see my US ads?

I wrote Yahoo support and almost fell off my chair when they wrote that their solution is for me to activate South America so I can then see my ads. Do these guys have any clue at all?
Do they not realize that (a) I don't want to cover SA & (b) most of my competition doesn't want it either.

I tried using a couple of free cloaking sites however they were blocked by Yahoo.com.

Any ideas?

try proxify.com

if that doesn't work, you might try anonymizer.com

Why I lose my patience with Yahoo:

Google AdWords.
In order to see your ads in other countries just use our special activator at the end of the search string to force the ads of that country.
We will even give you a special area to go to ( [google.com...] ) to make it even easier on you as this will not add impressions.

Yahoo:
The only solution we can see is to add your home area to your account so that you can see your ads.
Me:
But I don't want to see my ads in South America. I want to see them in the US along with other companies that advertise there.
Yahoo:
Currently there is no way to see your ads without unblocking the South American continent.

LOL!
