Last August, I changed my callsign. As a personal challenge, I wanted to get DXCC with the new call in year or less. I DID IT!!! 100 countries in 11-1/2 months of casual operating. All done with 100 watts and a dipole. By the way K0STH - are we long lost twin brothers or something? Whatever the case, we are brothers in Ham Radio!
