[CQ-Contest] dupes

[Chuck K3FT]

My 6.4 cents worth (inflation)

What I do, when a station calls me and CT tells me it's a dupe I just go ahead and work 
em, assuming not a serno contest. As he's replying to me I make sure I copy his call and 
data carefully and compare it to my log entry. Sometimes I'M wrong and then I correct 
the log. Usually, they are (as was pointed out) just operating sans dupe sheet or 
logbook. I give them my data, I don't log them cuz I've already got them in my log 
already, and they go away happy. That way I have no dupes in my logbook to depress my 
totals.

Where sernos are given like SS and others, it sometimes means that I'll tell him B4 and 
give him HIS QSO#. Couple of times he's said NO, not in log, so I work him again. 
Usually they say OH TU! and they are gone.  Either way.. I end up in their log and they 
are in mine and no dupes. Not a perfect system, I know.. but seems to workfor me.
