[CQ-Contest] S

[Jim Preston]

Yes, I agree. I will work anyone who calls me, whether I'm in a contest 
or not. Recently, I had someone call me on the came band and mode 
several times within a week. No problem. I worked him every time. 
Incidentally, I hadn't been calling CQ. He called me after I worked 
someone else.

73,

Given that a FT8/FT4 QSO is going to last a minute or less, and logging is electronic, I have never understood this reasoning behind setting up the program to not see or avoid stations you have worked before?  Is a dupe that big of a deal?  The other station might be running a contest, as you point out, or need your country for a DX Marathon point for that year.  I have worked stations numerous times on the same band with FT8 and don't see what the big deal is.
