The only use for a" QSO B4" message is if someone is repeatedly harassing you.
Otherwise, either you or the other guy is mistaken and you should just go ahead and work
them again. No fuss. If you don't, most likely you will lose points and
reduce your score.
Concern about dupes is a leftover meme from long ago paper logging days. It's
time to drive a wooden stake through its heart.
RIGHT. Among contesters, the rule about dupes is that working them is
better than rejecting them. It is always best to assume that if someone
is still calling you, you may not be in his log, for whatever reason.
Yes, there are those who don't use a contest logging program that checks
for dupes, and hopefully, they will eventually get the message and use
one. :)
