i don't understand this. he *wants* your call, so he can log you.
then he wants the next guy's call, etc.
or do you mean he'll end up getting so many dupe calls, he'll begin
to see the light?
speaking of dupes, it's amazing to me how many people think they
are 100% error free, and that absolutely everyone else is 100%
totally incompetent. last wpx/ssb i worked a station (no it wasn't a
zero pointer!) on 15, then changed bands to 20. about 2 qso's later
(at most, about 2 or 3 minutes had gone by since the last qso. i make
mistakes too... but that was still pretty strong in what's left of my
short term memory) i called him on 20 and he told me "you're a
dupe!" i told him "check your computer! what band are you showing?
our last q was on 15!" he told me "you're a dupe!"
i said (to myself) "and you're a *DOPE*!" and went on my way. the next
day he called me on 20; i recognized the call, but i bit my tongue,
although i was *VERY* tempted to tell him ... you know what!
