[CQ-Contest] Dupes

[Tom Osborne]

The difference here is that you noticed you mistyped the call and had it 
wrong.

My instance was in the 10 meter contest this weekend when a ZL station 
gave me QSO B4 and there was nothing in my log even close to his call.  
W7WHO was also in the contest so it could be that his SCP pulled that 
call out or something.  Cost me a Q and a mult.  Now he'll get a NIL.  
Luckily I worked another ZL later for the mult. 73
