Allot of this area is like that, get below a certain altitude and they lose you.

but at least at 10k-12k he wouldnt need to wear O2.

On my trip back home, flight following helped me out by seeing a airplane at my
12 o'clock climbing, had to give me vectors since they were not talking to him,
turned out to be a flight of 2 mooney's but center only saw one of them.

then in the baghdad MOA I think I had a couple of fighters use me for target
practice, I saw them comming at me then peel off together, then they was gone,
man those guys are fast.

I agree, although below 10,000' in that area there isn't any radar. It was
cool to see those pictures as that's the airspace I control. I've flown
through it too a few times, usually bumpy ride, in the summer anyway. That
area is crisscrossed with MTR's, and they are used on a regular basis. Lots
of B52's and B1's.
