That is incorrect. French Indo-China was FI8 FN8 was French India. Both were active. The CR8 Goa was rarer.

Re: Topband: Fw: #1 on the DXCC Honor Roll
Dave CR8 Damoa would have been my second guess. Strangely I have seen three W6ODD/CR8 cards for sale and in collections, but only two FN8 cards . But after Frank, W3LPL mentioned that W6ODD made so few QSOs, it had to be that one.

Re: Topband: Fw: #1 on the DXCC Honor Roll
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. 73 Price W0RI On Friday, February 27, 2015 5:40 PM, donov...@starpower.net donov...@starpower.net wrote: Hi Herb, The DXer you're referring to is Charlie Mellen W1FH and the deleted DXCC entity is CR8 Damao, Diu.

Re: Topband: Fw: #1 on the DXCC Honor Roll
Thanks Frank for the fascinating information. I guess Charlie, W1FH was at the right place at the right time. Remember this was before spotting and the internet as you were required to do a lot of listening across the band to grab something as super rare as CR8.
