3C was not in my only DXCC application from 1966 <g>
I'll use a more current qsl for the update.

Thanks to all who replied to my question.
It is now clear that Fernando Poo now Bioco Island
is the capitol of Equatorial Guinea 3C.
Fairly separated from the mainland part.
It is _not_ Annobon I. which is a separate island.
My current copy of the ARRL DX List did not contain enough information to ascertain
whether Fernando Poo would count as 3C or something else.
Google provided me with this:
EQUATORIAL GUINEA. A republic on the west coast of Africa, Equatorial Guinea includes an area on the mainland
called Rio Muni (or Mbini)
and five islands: Bioko, Corisco, Great Elobey, Little Elobey, and Annobon.
Since I have qsls for both 3C and 3C0 it doesn't really matter for credit.
I just wanted to log the card to the correct counrty which I now am sure is Equatorial Guinea.
Again thanks for all your help.
