Yes that´s what we did, for the same reason as you state below,
however I still think 318 dubes was too much. Maybe that´s normal
and I´m just not used to it, whatever.... as they sa in the US.

People may need to be more careful, but the truth is this: if a station
using computer logging wants to work what you believe is a dupe, then you
aren't in their log for the first QSO. Ergo, work 'em and save yourself
getting dinged for NIL.

Work 'em, move on.

Yes but since I´m sure that over 90 percent do use
PC loging I can´t understand why so many dupes you.
In the CT9L M/2 CQWW CW operation that I took part
in we worked over 300 dupes and that is simply too
much, people has to shape up and be more carefull.

It's better to work them than refuse to work them.  If you don't work
them they will not call you next time (SS, WPX, other contests).  Also
the ones that dupe you are totally clueless and more than likely not in
the contest!

So once you have secured your zero-point mult, you refuse to give one
to anyone else?


The zero-pointers don't bother me a bit (it's a lot faster to send "5NN
4"
than to argue), but last weekend at "The Farm" (W0AIH) I was amazed (and
amused) at how many zero-pointers came back later for a dupe!
