[CQ-Contest] Dupes

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

I am an adamant supporter of never using QSO B4, just rework the station 
and move on... up until last weekend...  now there's a slight crack in 
my adamancy!  I liked that our stride was not broken but appending "B4" 
to his serial number gave me the chance to catch my mistake. I wish I 
had wrote down his call sign... I don't remember who it was.
