No John:  You are not alone in how you feel.  Using a barefoot TS-520S and a center fed
Zepp fed with ladder line at 20 feet I have only worked 177 countries, all band, but
have used several of the DX nets on 20 meters to catch a new one.  As I do not have
the external VFO for the 520, I can not work split, so most DXpeditions are not
worked.  In last couple of nights I have worked ZL and VK on 40 meter SSB with 100 watts
and that goes to prove that it can be done without a 4 over 4 at 125 feet and maximum
legal power.
