Orrin,

EA7DUD is definitely a valid QSO with a real person.  Spain at 6000
miles is very believable.

Now, lets have a QSO between the two of us.  At 13,500 km that is
still less than my QSO with CX2AQ at 16,500 km.  I am still trying for
my first QSO with anyone on the East Coast US.

73,

Bob, 9V1QQ

 Howdy folks,
 
 I had my first JT65A qso with wb6mlc, just
 maybe 200 miles distant, no challenge there ...
 we often talk on SSB ... then Sunday with EA7DUD
 in Spain.
 
 I normally don't even try to work Europe, too
 much competition with other stations stateside.
 Personally i detest contesting.
 
 Can anyone else state they have QSOd with EA7DUD
 and they believe this is not someone just pirating
 that callsign?  I know this sounds suspicious and
 wacky, but i know Bill k6acj also is wondering
 about some of this DX.
 
 There is no insult intended here, just looking for
 some assurance please ...
 
 I also heard 7L4IOU, Japan, and the distance from
 here in California is maybe 5000 miles to Japan and
 not quite 6000 to Spain, so Spain is believable.

Hi,

7L4IOU and EA7DUD are both real;

Don't under-estimate yourself or the mode!
