I can affirm that the operation for 9U4U is legit on 40 meters. Before they were on the air and working 40 meters some who wished to spoil things for serious minded DXers played games with us all.
I have two contacts with this operation and both are now in the log and verified by the 9U4U website.
If you are not sure you worked this operation I would suggest going to DXscape, look for the latest spot for 9U4U, with DXexpeditions the spot will be in blue letters, it will also have a line underneath the spotted call letters. Click the listing and it will take you to the web site for the DXstation. Once you arrive at the site look for log searches, enter your call and hit submit. If indeed you are in the log there will your listing with all the information. If you are not in the log, you have two choices, scratch the contact, or work them again.
