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.

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.

Subject: Topband: #1 on the DXCC Honor Roll
For years, some time ago, there was a DXER who was always #1 on the ARRL
DXCC Honor Roll. He always had one more country than everybody else.
I've never been able to find out what that country ( or entity as they
call it now) was, i.e. a country that this top gun had worked and that
no other DX-er had apparently worked. Nobody at the DXCC "Desk" (as they
call it) would not tell me either.
