Since "electronically" submitted logs (Cabrillo format) are NOT penalized 
for dupes, might it just be easier to just log the "dupe," rather than try 
to figure out what the dupe was.

After all, it *might* have a mis-copy/mis-entry of the initial QSO by one of 
the stations, so, when the station that entered the initial QSO correctly 
reports it IS a dupe...but, the station that mis-copied/mis-entered thinks 
it is not...why not just LOG it instead of arguing about it?

The station that initially mis-copied or mis-entered should get a penalty 
but I would hope that the station that copied correctly would NOT be 
penalized...can someone more familiar with what the robots/log-checking 
programs do comment on whether or not such logic is implemented?

73, JK
