[CQ-Contest] The dupes?

[ve4xt at mts.net]

I too at am a loss to follow the logic here. If you don't work him as a dupe and you did screw it up 
earlier in the log, you're still going to be penalized for that earlier screw-up.

If you really did work him before and work him again, there's no cost to your score. Indeed, it's a net 
gain to your score because it takes far less time to say "599 15" than to get into a discussion about who 
worked whom when.

If you work him now and he wasn't really a dupe, you suffer the penalty you rightly deserve for getting 
the first QSO wrong, but you at least gain with the new, correct QSO. If you don't work him and leave 
the initial wrong QSO in your log, all you get is the penalty.

Once you've logged someone, rightly or wrongly, you owe it to that station to keep that Q in your log. If 
you busted it, suck it up, buttercup and face the music.

Work dupes: it's fairer AND it's faster for you.
