Besides the bad packet spots (wrong call and mis typed call) there is
another QSO B4 that is troubling on both 40 and 75 SSB.   Often the Dx are
listening on the same frequency (say 7240)
and if you call one both answer and put you in the log.  This happens almost
every contest to me.

If say D44TD and IR4T are both listening on the same frequency how do you
stop this duplication?   Sometimes it is not prudent to start with their
call ( D44TD this is K4JRB) but its the only way I know to stop the B4.
This also saves IR4T from thinking you are a LID that does not listen.

Any other suggestions?
