[CQ-Contest] Dupes in FAQ's

[VE3FH]

That's hilarious... I either listened to yours or a very similar one, someone being told it was a dupe replied that he had just started and only had a couple of QSOs in his log...Another one I heard was read previous QSOs data, times and serial numbers, one on 20 and one on 15, he replied I'm working SB 20 there's no way you worked me on 15...

Everyone was on one end or the other of the "you're a dupe"/"no I'm not"/"I
can't put you in the log again or I'll be penalized"/"no you won't be
penalized"/"look I worked you at xxxx" conversation this past weekend. It
hurts rate to have the conversation never mind the effort of spotting the
busted call several thousand QSO's ago in a big log - a job that I'm glad
is the logcheckers, and not mine!

I love the way the CQ WW FAQ talks about dupes. I strongly recommend that
this wording be plagiarized for every contest:

Q: Should I work and log duplicates? How are they counted by the log
checking?

A: Yes! Please log all contacts that you make even if they are duplicates.
