Hi Don,
I know why you receive so many dupe reports. . . . . to many gusy are using
your "message buffer examples" from your website. Change the callsign in your
suggested buffers and your dupes will go away, I'm sure.
Seriously, I had one this weekend and I remember it. My print was so bad with
QRM that I didn't log the guy because I never got a confirmation. Some of us
have modest stations and traffic like I experienced this weekend really slows
me down and I even have a tight radio (Field w/Roofing filter and a pair of 250
IF filters).
I also saw one posting on this reflector over the weekend from a newbie (like
me) who was wondering why his he couldn't print. I was going to respond but I
figured someone with more experience would tell this poor guy that it was the
crowd.
I also noticed a lot of what I call buzz saws signals; wide signals that would
show up on the display as a saw blade with broken teeth and they were quite a
way off to one side of the main signal.
It's a good thing I'm real casual about this or I'd be as mad about this as Don
is about the dupes.

PS: Very nice job this weekend, BTW I need that Vk0M on CW - I guess he
doesn't work CW.
