I do actually have him in the log. When I first got my tuner and was able to get on 10, he was one of the first stations I worked. I didn't find out about the other stuff until after I logged him. Didn't give me any attitude or anything like that when I worked him, he had me confirmed in LOTW, Clublog, and EQSL within minutes also.

I won't condone some of the alleged things hes done, I haven't heard it myself, but I don't really do much but stop for a moment when I'm on 10 to see if I can hear him. If I can, then I know its at least open to the East Coast and I move on.

A few of the guys around here refer to him as the Human Beacon though because hes usually always there.

As for me though...good contact, quick to QSL, though obviously if an org will give him the boot, hes obviously done things that are likely not in the best interests of the hobby. But I can't hold anything against him personally for my one experience with him. Doesn't mean I endorse the bad behavior.

Yesterday around greyline a station in Canada on 14.313 was calling CQ DX for greyline contacts. I didn't answer, and the signal sounded like it was almost on an echo mike...
