I hope you are talking about exact duplicates which makes sense and not someone that worked W1AW/X multiple times on the same band mode.

I thought LOTW removed or disregarded duplicate contacts........

Is there a difference?  Duplicate QSOs could result from submitting a log more 
than once, or by submitting multiple logs with overlapping duplicated entries.  
Same result.  Both happened in NY.

What do you mean do not include duplicates?  You mean duplicate logs from the 
same guy or duplicate contacts?

Just FYI, the uploads to LoTW are being processed by N1MM, among others - 
hardly someone whose dedication or competence needs questioning.  If these 
states are anything like mine (NY), many of the problems are caused by the 
self-inflicted wounds of the host state.  In our case, the submittal  
instructions did not match the ARRL's (our filenames were missing the grid 
square).  The ham who was responsible for transferring these to the ARRL was 
also operating most of the week and could not transfer the submitted logs until 
the week was over.  Then instructions were issued to change the filenames and 
resubmit.  However, all the logs, right filename and no, were, in turn, 
submitted to the ARRL who meanwhile was begging us not to submit duplicate QSOs.

Fixing the missing information combined with the duplicates probably added at 
least a week to the time before they appeared on LoTW.  None of the delay  was 
the ARRL's fault.
