[RTTY] Dupes how to handle

[Larry]

Some of this duplicate QSO stuff is not limited to contests. I heard
several occasions during the recent HK0NA expedition, for example,
where the same stations were worked more than three times in less than
half an hour on the same band/mode slot. I noticed the same behavior
several times from a few stations last year when I operated from XV.

Personally, I just work the dupe as it is usually faster than trying to 
explain
a dupe. I have never had to resort to what I heard HK0NA do a few times:
"xxxxxx YOU ARE IN THE LOG".

(Look for me a XV2W from 23 March to 12 June 2012 - CW, RTTY, SSB.)
