According to the list as published in K1ZM's book "DXing on the Edge -
The Thrill of 160 Meters" (c) 1997, the first five 160 DXCCs are:

1) W1BB
2) W1HT
3) W8LRL
4) KV4FZ
5) K1PBW

Due to a clerical error there were two #25 G3RPB and OK1ATP.  There was
no #99 to compensate.

Jeff lists the first 250 certificates issued - many calls will be very
familiar to old-timers on top band.


73,

   ... Joe, W4TV

The real question is not why W1BB is #1 or W8LRL is #2 but why there are
two #3's and no #4.  This goes right to the heart of how the ARRL has been
wrongfully playing favorites.
Herb, KV4FZ
