Surely.  I should have stated "in some contests" and "at one time".  There
are (were?) cases where this is true.  I was trying to give an example of

I hope so, but either way, if you bust the call, and it is determined to be
a unique (perhaps HG1H won't be considered a keep-able unique, my apologies)
then you could conceivably work the same guy twice AND get two QSOs for it.
