There is nothing magical about #275. But you do get another sticker from the ARRL at this milestone. After 275 it is a long slog. The ARRL recognizes this and issues stickers after 300 every 5 DXCC entities. Even 5 DXCC can take years to get at this stage.I consider myself fortunate to having line of sight to 275 after 5 years of DX Chasing
