Re: [CQ-Contest] Dupes in FAQ's

[Steve Bookout <steve@nr4m.com>]

My favorite 'dupe' experience was experienced by a buddy of mine. His 
call is K4GM, and another one of our local friends is K4GMH, who is big 
into RTTY contesting.  George, K4GM, told me of a story where he got 
into a RTTY contest and the FIRST person he called, said 'Sorry, dupe'.  
It was obviously K4GMH that the fellow worked.
Just think, his FIRST contact.
