[RTTY] Dupes how to handle

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Larry

I have always wondered why people want to work the DX'pedition on every 
available band/slot.

Say HK0NA makes 50,000 Q's and they all work him 27 times.  That means that 
only about 1850 stations work them.  Lots of others will be left out.  73

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".
