[VHFcontesting] Logging dupes...

[Jeffrey Embry]

Just got the following from Scott and thought I would pass it on.


"Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your e-mail.  If / when I do the rewrite to .NET, I plan to
add the option to log dupes in my software.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

73, Scott
