[CQ-Contest] Dupes in FAQ's

[Steve Bookout]

My favorite 'dupe' experience was experienced by a buddy of mine. His 
call is K4GM, and another one of our local friends is K4GMH, who is big 
into RTTY contesting.  George, K4GM, told me of a story where he got 
into a RTTY contest and the FIRST person he called, said 'Sorry, dupe'.  
It was obviously K4GMH that the fellow worked.

Just think, his FIRST contact.

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...
