I agree with Clive on dups. Unless I am S&P ing I don't have time to
stop and tell a station that he is a dup. Clive also brings up a valid
point about why you should log a valid duplicate contact. Say early in
the contest I think SV9XX came back to me on 160
when actually he was working another European. Simply a matter of
timing. Howver later the SV9 answers my CQ and if I don't log it then I
lose the mult. With the cabrillo log no points are assigned until the
log checking program scores the log. I would lose the first contact as
NIL but get full credit for the second. There is no penalty for dups
in most contests.
