I think the buffoonery on that frequency has been overstated, as it's not as big a target of opportunity.

WOW! Kicked out of 10-10?
How does one mange to do that?

He was a total blockhead and annoying everyone in 10-10, so they banned him and stripped him of his 10-10 number! I still hear him calling CQ 10-10 on the rare occasion I pass by his PRIVATE Frequency, which he evidently owns! He even has CQ tapes so he can run his transmitter 24/7 to make sure no one seizes his frequency.
I listenned yersterday a few times (THANKSGIVING) and didn't hear a peep from him. So guess he took off the HOLIDAY!
I have a receiver on the frequency now but haven't heard much QRMing. The Marconi Net used to get far more when it was in operation.

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...

Insert witty and creative sigfile stuff here.
I worked him once on the day I got my 10m Moxon up in the air. It was completely unmemorable, a standard RST-RST-73-73 QSO that took about thirty seconds.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

I've read several accounts, some time ago, but they are all from the 10-X side of things. As I have no personal knowledge, I don't want to misquote anything from a half-assed memory.
Suffice to say that there are some who objected to his style of operating. Clearly things escalated to the point where he was removed from his positions in the organization, and eventually, removed from the organization. But I have no facts to give you.
