As noted by NF6H, CT has a problem with duping portable stations.
I got frustrated with it while running CQP last Sunday, and did some
testing with CT 9.07 and contest type CQP.
TYPE   ACTION                                      RESULT
AE0M   entered as a qso1                           CT reports AE0M   is OK.
AE0M   entered in callsign field of qso 2          Partial window shows AE0M
    /6 added in callsign field of qso 2            Partial window shows NIL
(FINE...)
       TAB to s/n field of qso 2                   CT reports AE0M/6 is OK.
(WRONG! TRY TO FIX IT: MOVE UP TO QSO 1)
    /6 added in callsign field of qso 1 <<note     Partial window shows AE0M/6
(SO FAR, SO GOOD, SO MOVE BACK DOWN TO QSO 2)
AE0M/6 still showing in callsign field of qso 2    Partial window shows AE0M/6
       TAB to s/n field of qso 2                   CT reports AE0M/6 is OK.
(STILL WRONG!)

Ken, both these qso 2's should be a DUPE.  

Also, why can't you add a "delete the last qso" feature?  I know it 
would be a mess for any more than the last one, but sometimes I hit 
the enter key by accident, or the other guy says, "sorry, QSO B4" after 
I have hit the enter key.
