ARGH ! Just experienced this frustration this morning. Playing in the 9A CW contest. Nothing even remotely serious, however as I S&P'd up the band trying "ESM" for the first time in N1MM+ Now, normal
When that happens to me, I sometimes send something to the effect: NOT IN LOG HERE WORK AGAIN SO YOU DO NOT GET PENALIZED That usually works. If not his loss, not mine. Contest Exuberantly, Hank, W6S
Exactly what I do ... have a macro that says "not in log". Seems to get their attention! ;-) 73 de ns9i When that happens to me, I sometimes send something to the effect: NOT IN LOG HERE WORK AGAIN S

Is it some holdover by ancient OF's who always do/did paper logging and cannot get a grip on modern reality? _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contest
If you are "already in their log", why not just put them in yours an move on. If its not a serial number contest, everyone is good. Ed N1UR _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
It depends on the contest. In CQWW, we don't consider a QSO to have happened if the times in the two logs are not within +/- 5 minutes. I believe the Russian DX Contest has a similar policy. Correct

No because: 1) If "you" are right, you didn't work them! 2) What time did you work them? 3) In a contest where you can work just once regardless of band, which band/frequency? David - K2DSL _________
One possible reason the other station is "not in my log" is that I busted their callsign during a prior QSO. In this case, the log checking will penalize me for a busted call and give the other stati
In the time it takes to say dupe/b4 or not in log, etc. it's just faster to work 'em again and move on. Besides it doesn't break the rhythm of a run. Back in the day of the dupe sheet (remember those

Hi Pete You are right on this one. And if you depend on the cluster for people to figure what your call is, then it's you fault you are being duped. One way to make sure they have your call right is
I am frequently told that their logging software absolutely makes it impossible for them to log dupes. I don't think this is quite true (probably they just have to hit an "override" key combination)
It was in both US military and RAF phonetic alphabets up through 1956. I'm not much of a phone guy, but some of the better-remembered callsigns still use some of the older RAF phonetics. I definitel
Before I switched to N1MM, I used N3FJP which wouldn't allow me to log dupes. I did not investigate if there was a workaround.--Mike, WV2ZOW _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
Hi Tom, That "poor ops" comment actually cuts both ways. The op running is being poor for not IDing frequently and the S&P station is being a poor op for calling a station when he doesn't know who he
I've done some contesting from the Bahamas as C6AUM, and often I have been the only C6A multiplier available on the band. I frequently have dupes call when I'm running. I assume they are looking for
