Phone QSO count as one credit, CW is one and all other Digital is one.  So if 
you work the station already on FT8, another call on FT4 is DUPE.

----------

6.3. Field Day contacts are allowed using Phone, CW and Digital (non-CW) modes. 
Stations can be worked once per band per mode under this rule.

     6.4. All voice contacts are equivalent.

     6.5. All non-CW digital contacts are equivalent.

Why are you worried about dupes? They don’t cost anything in scorekeeping. 

If someone calls you, it’s usually because you are not in their log. Maybe it 
was a busted call. It takes longer for you to inform them that you think it is 
a dupe and have them tell you that you are not in their log. Just log them and 
move on. It’s faster.

If your logger blocks dupes, turn on “allow dupes.” If you are doing S&P and do 
want to work dupes, you’ll still get the warning.
