[WVDXA] Fwd: [dx-check:1146] DXCC Honor Roll list problem

[Philip M. Roberts]

Tnx Hal for the info.

I went to the top of the Honor Roll in July of 
2007, but you could never tell by reading QST. I 
think they would at least due a corrected list for top of the Honor Roll.

Phil

My call is unlisted
