[CQ-Contest] K4OJ's Problem

[Barry]

I agree 100% with Dave. Not only should dupes not be removed, 
they should be worked without question. It's much more efficient 
than arguing with someone about it.
I called a W8, who happened to be a mult at the time. He comes 
back QSO B4. I say NO, PSE RPRT. He comes back QRX QRX -- -
- QSO AT 0119Z. I scroll back thru log to see if I busted his call 
(doubtful, unless I busted his state too), and nothing close in the 
log at that time. I beg for "another" report, he gives it.  If this took 
place during a time when band was open to EU, I probably could 
have made 5 more QSOs in the meantime.
