The paranoia about logging dupes is amazing. When called by a dupe, I
usually just log it. The only exception is if a station calls again
after only a few few minutes. I assume he was just working a station
close to me.
During CQWW CW, I called a PY1 station (who reported a pretty nice score)
twice to be told I was a dupe. The first time I just tuned on. Later that
day, I called him again. After he sent "QSOB4", I sent "no W1GD". He
actually replied with a time for the QSO!!! I quickly checked that time
(plus and minus about 15 minutes) and there was nothing even close to his
call. I decided to not waste any more time for a simple 3-point QSO. So, he's
not in my log. I suspect he'll get hit with a 3 QSO penalty. But, at
least his log doesn't have any dupes in it.....
Gerry, W1GD
