This is exactly why we should all simply work whomever calls us. QSO B4 wastes just as much time as giving a report and moving on.

And it's a silly lost cause to try to manage busted packet spots via QSO B4 anyway. Give your correct callsign a couple of times and the dupes will fade quickly.

You get credit for the previous contact and I don't. It would have been
just as easy to give me a report the second time. QSO B4 is not one of my
macros.

It is after that bad experience that I have decided to systematically
refuse the QSO's B4.

After all, if my callsign is busted in the other guy log, I do not lose
the points but he lose the points and if he answers ''NO'' when I send QSO
B4 then I will work him without discussion.

Interested by your opinion on that point.
