Hello Kermit!
There are no penalties for working and logging dupes in any contests that I
am aware of. I believe it is always best to work and log all dupes, where
guys call you again. This way, in case the first QSO did not get into the
other guys log (that is why he called again) you will be all OK on the
second go around. It is faster most of the time to work the calling dupe
station instead of trying to explain that he is a dupe.
The great part about the Cabrillo log submission format is that the dupes
are not shown any differently in your log. The log checking software that is
used by contest sponsors sorts out the dupes without any problem or penalty.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Dupes in CQ sponsored contests
Even though I'm careful, some dupes often creep into my logs. In last
weekend's WW RTTY there were two, one for certain and another where I'm not
sure about the first QSO, whether I had it or not.
What are CQ's rules about submitting dupes? I can't seem to find any
definitive statement. I don't want to penalize the other stations or
myself.
