Topband: Fw: #1 on the DXCC Honor Roll

[HAROLD SMITH JR]

Hi Frank, 

You took the words out of my mouth or fingers. 

Back in the 60s and 70s, I worked Charlie Mellen on 20 ssb quite often. Charlie was # 1 on the Honor Roll followed by Marv W6VFR for many years. Look in the old QSTs fron the 50s and 60s and you will see them both listed. Had a sked with W6VFR, W0OKC, W0NHR and W0NVZ every Sat Afternoon on 14275 for many years.

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.
