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.

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.
