I don't think that topbander.com (and the DXCC
award)is really a yardstick for performance. I know
some guys that have worked & confirmed over 100
countries on topband and have never applied for the
160 DXCC or entered data into topbander.com. I
personally have 134 confirmed but have never gotten
around to applying for the award and maybe I never
will. I also know a fellow that has over 300 confirmed
but never applied any award. BTW, I consider my
station a "small" one on topband. I have a single
vertical, no RX anrennas at present, and only a half
acre lot. On the positive side, I can run a KW on
topband if necessary and do live on the East Coast.
