Methinks part of the FD dupe problems come from so many "once-a-year" ops that show up and either don't know how to use the software (or whoever set things up didn't turn on dupe control)...or else they do not use any software.

Well, all of the comments got me to thinking.

What about a brand spankng new contest... "Worked All Dupes" (a/k/a "WAD")???

Since the 4th of July is just around the corner, images came to mind of all the "Pooper Scoopers" that follow the Equestrian entries in the parades.

So, Andy...Mr. CQPWIN creator/programmer...how about a CQPWIN "WAD" contest module, that has a special SO2R "DUPER SNOOPER" feature?  Just think about all the fun and excitement of watching Bandmaps automatically fill up with Dupes to work!!!  While you're working dupes on one band, the Duper Snooper" is quietly auto-scannng another band and Packet sources via Artifical Intelligence Modules to populate the "Mother of all Dupes-To-Work Lists".

Gotta be great, OM.  Go-For-It. {next comment deleted}
