color=#0000ff size=2>TV-Bob and I have argued this point (working dupes or not)
for years. Even in ARRL Sweepstakes with its long exchange, I strongly
prefer to just work dupes and not break my rhythm. I also don't want to
risk getting a NIL (and penalty) because the other person doesn't have me
in the log for the alleged first QSO. And, I certainly don't want to
instigate a discussion about if and when we worked earlier. Bob and I will
continue to disagree on this and it is not a "truth" that long exchanges make
the QSO B4 message effective.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

fixed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV></DIV>Obviously you have never entered the ARRL Sweepstakes
contest, where you can work a station only once the entire weekend, and the
exchange is extraordinarily long. In this contest, it is much faster NOT
to work the dupe, especially when others are calling at the same
time.<BR><BR>This bug makes the SO2R scenarios completely unusable in such
contests, and I am really hoping that it will be fixed
soon.<BR><BR>73,<BR>Bob, N6TV<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
