[RTTY] Dupes how to handle

[Alejandro V. XE1EE]

Well, my logic is to avoid dupes on my log, however it's a good point what 
you state about the guy loosing his log.

So you think is better to work dupes instead of ignore them?.. will the 
penalties worth?, of course i know there's a limit of dupes before i have a 
disqualification and the common sense will tell me when there are too many 
dupes.

If I work dupes will have no more than 5 in a whole contest, that macro does 
not triggers too often

Tnx!
