Too bad you're in a rare section or I'd be sure that I didn't work you in
fear of a screw up!
With everyone working everyone on close proximity and never giving the call
of the station they are working and often not id'ing themselves,  it is
highly probable during a contest to work someone who in reality was working
someone .113 khz away and the timing happened to be just right.   A good
reason to work dupes!
