Hi Jim,
If I am getting a lot of dupe calls I ask myself:

Is there a bum spot out on me on the cluster?
Am I unintelligible....crap signal, sending too fast?
Am I not signing often enough?

I worked CT9L, dunno if it was you ever as op when I did, and I cannot answer any of the above questions!!

Best wishes
Keith GM4YXI

Yes but since I´m sure that over 90 percent do use
PC loging I can´t understand why so many dupes you.
In the CT9L M/2 CQWW CW operation that I took part
in we worked over 300 dupes and that is simply too
much, people has to shape up and be more carefull.

It's better to work them than refuse to work them.  If you don't work
them they will not call you next time (SS, WPX, other contests).  Also
the ones that dupe you are totally clueless and more than likely not in
the contest!

So once you have secured your zero-point mult, you refuse to give one
to anyone else?
 The zero-pointers don't bother me a bit (it's a lot faster to send "5NN
4"
than to argue), but last weekend at "The Farm" (W0AIH) I was amazed (and
amused) at how many zero-pointers came back later for a dupe!
