Topband: Fw: #1 on the DXCC Honor Roll

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hi Herb, 

The DXer you're referring to is Charlie Mellen W1FH and the deleted 
DXCC entity is CR8 Damao, Diu. He kindly loaned my his CR8 QSL 
for a DXCC QSL display at the 1966 ARRL National Convention in 
1966. 

W6ODD/CR8 made 55 QSOs on August 2, 1948, the only activity 
from this DXCC entity taken over by military force in 1961.
