[RTTY] Sent dupe serial numbers

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

You can leave a note in the comments section of what you did.  You might
have to manually change your Cabrillo log so it has the same sn sent twice.
The contest robots might balk at that as I have never tried it.

I am sure you are not the only one.  I nearly did it too.

Yes, enter into your log whatever you sent them. If 2 stations got 020 as
the serial number, they will be fine. If you change it to be what you think
it should be and not what you sent the other operator, they wouldn't match
what you told them and they could be penalized.

Not sure if we worked since I didn't notice your call in your email, but if
we did, thanks for the contact.
