Could there be more than ten or twenty guys who would INTENTIONALLY work a DX more than twice on any band/mode? Likely not. BUT there may be several hundred guys (a thousand?) who had legitimate trouble confirming or hearing the confirmation of their contact. Some wish to punish the many legitimate callers wishing confirmation again, because of the assumption that the dup is for a bad reason. As someone said, it is just as easy to say call/59 as it is to say call/dup. Actually, it is ultimately much easier for DX just to be sure they got the call signs BY REPEATING THE CALLER'S CALL SIGN and saying "copy?" for the confirmation. Don't make a record number of QSOs; make a record of ACCURATE QSOs. 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:59:20 -0400> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: > dx-chat@njdxa.org> Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] On-Line Logs My 2 cents worth...> > > Worked a previous Ducie Island operation and sent for qsls.
