[CQ-Contest] WPX call question

[ct1ilt at sapo.pt]

Hi Guys,

I had to call an old timer for this one. I had a lilte chat with CT1ZW  
Júlio who was already ham in 1975.

According to Júlio by that time the colonies from CT were ruled by  
numbers (CQ CR 4 - Cape Verde; CQ, CR, XX 6 - Angola, 7 - Mozambique,  
8 - Timor, Goa, etc, - 9 Macau) so basically until DXCC agreed on  
these countries independence, they were ruled by the numbers.

So I have to agree that CR6 CQ6 XX6 untill 1st Jan 1976 was Angola !

73's Filipe Lopes CT1ILT aka CR6K (PORTUGAL!! heh )
