I work dupes and I believe that it is a poor practice not to. There are so
many things that can happen during a contest and it is so easy just to give
the report again and move on. One time while operating from P40A, I got on
during a contest that had started the previous day and the very first guy
that I called said that we worked before and went back to calling CQ.

Why do some stations insist on telling you that you;re a dupe when you are
not a dupe?
Last night on 40, I had a W9 station tell me I was a dupe and he gave me
his number 31 when he was not in my log. He spent 2 or 3 minutes pecking
out what number and when we had worked.
I tried to explain that he was a NIL, but he just would not work me. I had
been running a bit earlier so he might have called me and I worked someone
else and he THOUGHT he worked me when he didn't.
Just work the dupe and move on. There is no penalty if it is a dupe, but
you will get a NIL if you think you worked me and I'm not in your log. 73
