Interesting question. Looking back at previous logs here we usually have
about 100 dupes in a 3000 QSO log, and 140 dupes in a 4000 QSO log and 175 in a
5000 QSO log. I bet K3LR W3LPL and KC1XX end up with 250 or more in their 9000
QSO logs. A few years ago I operated at HC8N and the final log showed nearly
700 dupes in a 17k QSO log. There's probably some information on this that
log checkers could pull from the database to show what is "normal".
There are a lot of reasons for duplicate QSOs. Packet mistakes are certainly
one but even before packet there were lots of dupes. Many of the smaller
scores are from casual participants who are not using computers - they may not
be tracking who they've worked at all. We just work them, log them, and don't
worry about it.
