[CQ-Contest] Working dupes

I have not heard of any contest robot that *does not* work as N6TR
describes.

Until one exists that behaves otherwise, I think it is safe to assume that
they all work like this.

This model has become the de facto "standard".  It makes sense.  It's a good
thing.

73,

There is nothing keeping anyone else from writing their own that treats it
differently.

There is a Cabrillo spec.  There is no Cabrillo Robot Spec, fwiw.  It is
best to ask for each event for which you participate.
