I agree with John in giving out the serial numbers if asked, but I
will not log such a contact.
If I get called later by the same person, operating the 10 meter
contest, that's OK. But I'm not willing to put up with getting
penalized for dupes. Regretfully, scheduling has made this a mess. My
log is going to show a dupe, and nothing good can come from that,
except to perhaps edit out the first contest.

Or, log all the contacts, but refuse the dupes later. There is no
requirement that logs be submitted by anyone, and a cross check of
logs submitted will confirm a station who works both contests.

Or is there something I'm missing here?
