I now have it on solid authority that SS dupes will never hurt you.  The log checking first step is removing all claimed qsos that have exchange errors. Only as the last step are any remaining dupes (now with good exchanges) removed with no penalty. N6MW

The question is how are dupes in the SS treated in log checking. Aside from the conventional wisdom of not removing your dupes since there is no penalty, there remains some mystery. Assume have a dupe with a station but one of the exchanges was not correctly copied by you - either the first or second. If the first is incorrect is that counted giving a penalty and the second ignored? Or the other way around? Or if either is correct is the other ignored and no penalty?

This question has been posed to the ARRl contest manager in several forms in emails but no firm answer has been provided. Follow up questions are no longer responded to.

Does anyone know, with certainty, the answer? Perhaps a member of the log checking crew knows?  N6MW
