Hi Rich,

I agree.  The rate counter should take into account all q's made, dupes 
or not.  I would still like to see my duped QSO total displayed.  Or 
have a config file switch to control the QSO total (duped or raw) if 
room can't be found on the screen for this.

I usually always work dupes in Run mode except in SS, where the exchange 
is so long.

I had one guy this weekend call me twice within a two minute period.
