That is exactly why we are doing it, too. In the past, we have had dedicated
operating positions, such as CW for one rig, SSB for another, or 20m for one
and 40m for another, etc. Dupes were not a problem.
In an effort to expand our flexibility and capitalize on having another CW
operator along (among other things), we are networking so that all three
computers have the full log in them in real time and we can avoid dupes if,
say, two different operating positions are both on the same band-mode
throughout the operating period.
