Hi Jim,
If I am getting a lot of dupe calls I ask myself:

Is there a bum spot out on me on the cluster?
Am I unintelligible....crap signal, sending too fast?
Am I not signing often enough?

I worked CT9L, dunno if it was you ever as op when I did, and I cannot answer any of the above questions!!

If I'm not rare, then when I'm duped by someone the first question I ask myself is "Did he think he was working somebody else? Was the timing just a little off, or the frequency, or can I hear someone he might have worked instead of me." Sometimes, admittedly, I don't ask that when the first guy dupes me, but if I suddenly get a flurry, especially on the high bands...
