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.
