I get very excited when someone, be it on CW, Phone or RTTY comes back to my calls and sends "Worked Before"... Well, If he would be in my log, I would not call him! I know this has been discussed be
I must agree with John. On my Contest DXpeditions, I generally do exactly what John does and work the suspected dupe just in case we got our wires crossed earlier. I would hate to have someone miss m
John, I am split regarding that. In last CW WW I worked everyone who come back 2nd, 3rd .. time without asking. On CW, I think that saves time, and is better than arguing with someone. In that WW CW
Greetings All, I do S&P with a bi-directional antenna system on 40. It really helps to know that I'm already in the log and with logging software to know the time of the alleged contact. One common d
As they used to say (and maybe still do) in California...RIGHT ON DUDE...My policy is to work dupes when they call me. As you point out it is much quicker to do that than to try and help they guy sor
HNY to all, I guess I've been out of the list in the previous discussions of WKDB4, Im in total favor of just work the guy and let the computer figure it out. But that brings and interesting point to
Yes it is much much much much faster to just give the guy another report, sometimes they realize what they have done and apologize. I don't understand why more do not do it. I thought that the whole
Sometimes the "worked-b4" reply can be helpful. In the ARRL RTTY Roundup, I got "worked B4" twice while S&P'ing. The first time, everything looked good on my software screen, and I ignored it. The ne
Dennis -- You have just entered my personal Contesters Hall Of Fame. Bless you. I am going to lose two Zone 9 mults in the CQ WW because two hotshot operators who should know better insisted, Sunday
I used to, but don't anymore, send "worked before" when someone calls me and my contest software says it's a dupe. Maybe he got my call incorrect the first time or I got his wrong. During a recent ph
My experience was much better, only abt 1 percent. Far better to work 'em again in that case. On the other hand, I hate it when (they know who they are) insist on reworking the hard dx every morning
It is obvious that one should NEVER remove dupes from the log. The program will give zero points, which is all that has to be done! This is stupid, unfair and unsportmanslike. If both QSO's are in th
It's helped me too, on CW. I'm used to using CAT with the 1000MP so don't have to worry abt band changes. The first time I did a QRP contest with the new IC-706MKII (before CAT), my NA sent a "B4" to
As a newbie to contesting, I want to thank all those who, when we had worked B4, did it again with not a note of exasperation. And to those who didn't, well there were none. I was on paper logs at th
I am going to lose two Zone 9 mults in the CQ WW because two hotshot operators who should know better insisted, Sunday afternoon, that I was already in their log. C'mon, guys; I can screw up a call -
While on the subject, all those hotshots that run 27,000 Q's before giving their own callsign are going to be explaining WKD B4 alot. I have even heard "KM0L sri wkd b4" "We did? Who are u?" "QRZ tes
