[CQ-Contest] Fwd: NILs hurt

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Reminds me of a certain UA2in the WAE CW contest.  I called him, he said 
DUPE, I said, "Not in my log", he said DUPE, I said "no", he said DUPE 
and I gave up. On Sunday, probably the same op asked me for QTCs, 
persistently and repeatedly while I was running.  Guess who lost the 
equivalent of 11 QSOs.

73, Pete N4ZR
