Unless a station is very difficult to copy, I work them again. I do not
have a "B4" macro and even in a contest with a long exchange like last
weekend's SS it is still better to just to work them again. This ensures
that you both have a good QSO. Many things can happen when spending hours
on the radio, a person can miscopy a callsign, not be 100% sure that he
copied the exchange previously or a contact can be accidentally wiped out
due to lack of saving it before the next QSO.

Thanks for bringing this up.
There were several folks sending "QSO B4", and I am not sure what the
purpose of it was.
Clearly, EVERYONE is using computerized logging these days, and if one
person decided it is not a dupe, best bet is to work him again. Yes - I
worked several dupes, and was happy to do so.
I infer the "QSO B4" types expect me to go search through my log, figure
out what time I worked him, how I busted his call, and go back and fix it...
Bottom line is - quicker to just work him again!
Not quite sure how to handle a busted call on the cluster - that seems to
be a separate issue, but it does help find the folks claiming unassisted,
then working the "busted spot", and NOT using the cluster :-)
