D6 in the DXCC

D68C did a terrific job with 168.722 QSOs, but since 2001, other activities from Comoros Islands were not really relevant in terms of QSOs. This entity, since that year, had never stop climbing the chart. Moreover, actual surveys report, on the top part of the chart, several Entities recently activated by Major Dxpeditions.
