[CQ-Contest] Dupes?

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

Yes, but I need to clarify something.

The point I was trying to make, contrary to the poster moaning that
the rules change would open the floodgates to a deluge of dupes, was
that people don't really have any MOTIVE to go around making or
soaking up tons of dupes. They STILL kill time, and always will. I
WILL PUT THE DUPE IN THE LOG AND MOVE ON, because it's courteous,
avoids the argument with someone who needs me as a mult, acknowledges
that the mistake may be mine, and given the rules is the smart thing
to do score-wise.

THE RULES HAVE CHANGED.

73, Guy.

It is not because you have logged the guy, that he has logged you. If
during
cross checking the QSO is found NOT to be in his log, you will loose
the
contact and possibly get a penalty for logging a fictive QSO.

If you work the guy (in your opeinion a second time, in his opinion
the
first time), you will be certain you are in his log. That is all that
matters.
