It takes a little more time to complete an exchange than it does to tell
a guy he is a dupe, so in the ARRL CW, I started out by telling guys they
were dupes. After the second one said "no, please work me" I started
working dupes!

It is possible that they copied my call wrong first time, I copied a
similar call wrong, or they worked someone else on a nearby frequency
and the timing made me think I worked him.

When called by the same stations for the 3rd or 4th time, I did tell them
"QSO B4."
