Yeah...work them! I was qrp, but actually had folks duping me! I told the
first one "dupe" but then worked him anyway...from then on, I just worked
everybody (with qrp, they may have had doubts and decided not to log it, even
after they got my call right anyway...it happens).
I also sent the callsign of everyone I called (during the exchange) except
for the first 10 qso's. When someone did that to me, I thought, "gee...isn't
that stupid...I know my own call" but then I kept doing it cuz I thought it
would help confirm a real TWO WAY qso.
I also worked several guys who I sent the WRONG call to and they didn't
bother to correct me...just an experiment...that (I guess) failed.
