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, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: 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. http://hamgallery.com/qsl/deleted/Damao_Diu/w6odd2.htm Google: W6ODD/CR8 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Herbert Schoenbohm" <[email protected]> To: "TopBand List" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 27, 2015 5:01 PM 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.
