[CQ-Contest] Dupes/Zero Pt Q's

[k7qq]

I thought that the reason I didn't list dupes / zero point Q's was because
it was easier to score each individual page.
I can rembember having numerous  W0's or W4's call and work them but only
the first one made the log for the Zone Mult.
I'm sure that I wasn't the only one who logged in this manner when doing all
the entries with a pencil.

I still have dificulty in leaving a zero point Q in the log although I know
that its just a few more bits in the  cabrillo .log file.

Old habits die hard.

QUACK
