Reminds me of a certain UA2in the WAE CW contest. I called him, he said
DUPE, I said, "Not in my log", he said DUPE, I said "no", he said DUPE
and I gave up. On Sunday, probably the same op asked me for QTCs,
persistently and repeatedly while I was running. Guess who lost the
equivalent of 11 QSOs.

This is a very compelling argument for why stations should work AND LOG all
dupes. You may think you worked the station before, but if they don't have
you in the log, you will lose the contact.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Fwd: NILs hurt
If I do not get a solid acknowledgement from another station in a
contest, I DELETE the ENTRY in my logging program.
Of course, I am NOT a big time contester, just a small fish, but I figure
if they are in too much of a rush to skip the confirmation, they DESERVE
the NIL...Not me.
I am sure most will say I am FOS, but too bad.
That is my way of doing things.

Looking at my log check report, those NILs hurt because they are NOT MY
MISTAKE but the other operators' and so many ops will not stay around to
see if all of the exchange is correct. With that situation, I don't feel
punished for THEIR mistakes, yet I am. BTW, I don't know how to remedy
this.
I am very proud that only 8 of my over thousand contacts missed my call
sign...... I have been practicing saying it gud and it takes a bit more
time, but in that category of error, I am doing ok.
Like automobile driving, excessive speed is the greatest cause of errors.
