I am OK with that, in that case when you have a doubt or you take the contest seriously you just have to answer NO to my QSO B4 and I do work you without any question.

But understand that on my side working 100 DUPES out of 1500 QSO starts to be problematic.

I just have observed that among all the 60 QSO B4 that I have sent this WE none have said NO and most have answered SRI.

It then looks like most of the guys are just working the contest casually, they might have just not pushed the space bar to check the dupe or just did not listen to my signal after having clicked on the spot. Then when they are receiving a QSO B4 they are not really surprised... In you case, while you are taking it seriously, if you receive a QSO B4 you know something was not OK with the previous QSO then you just have to insist to work this QSO by just answering NO.

You get credit for the previous contact and I don't. It would have been
just as easy to give me a report the second time. QSO B4 is not one of my
macros.

It is after that bad experience that I have decided to systematically
refuse the QSO's B4.

After all, if my callsign is busted in the other guy log, I do not lose
the points but he lose the points and if he answers ''NO'' when I send QSO
B4 then I will work him without discussion.

Interested by your opinion on that point.
