>I think most of these have been mentioned in the past, but maybe not all in
>one place?  Here are the reasons I can think of for a dupe calling you:
>
>1. He busted your call the first time he worked you.
>2. He has your call busted this time.
>3. He logged you on the wrong band the first time he worked you.
>4. He has his computer logger set for the wrong band this time. 
>5. You had your computer on the wrong band the first time he worked
>you.(#3,4,5 are largely avoided by rig interfaced to logging computer).
>Also, I know that I have seen computers go crazy and log on the wrong band
>when RF gets into them.
>6. You busted his call this time, turning it into a call you had already
>worked.
>7. You busted someone elses call previously, turning it into the call of the
>guy calling you now.
>8. He was working someone else near or on your frequency the first time and
>you logged him.
>9. He called you in a pileup the first time, you answered him but he didn't
>hear you, and someone else that thought you answered them gave you a report.
>10. He called you in a pileup or weak signal situation the first time, and
>isn't sure of the QSO and wants an insurance contact.
>11. He forgot to do a dupe check before calling you.  People get excited
>when they think they've found a new mult.
>12. Sorta like #11, he is a casual participant, not using a computer, and
>didn't notice you were a dupe. 
>13. As stated in the message above, he might have had a computer crash and
>lost some data.  
>14. You don't sign your call often enough and he got tired of waiting.
>15. He's just a lid and doesn't really care.  Hopefully not too many of
>these.
>16. He is a buddy of your competition and is trying to waste your time?
>Okay, I'm really reaching now!
>
>That's all I can think of off-hand.  Any more?
