Dan,
I brought up the lag in uploading logs and that they where sending NO DUPS
and QSOB4 with one of their pilots but he simply said "work them again". Go
figure.

I know they want to discourage duping but most people who dupe are
doing it because they didn't think they got in.
It doesn't really take that much longer to send "KA2BZS 5NN" than "KA2BZS
B4"
If we didn't have such a problem with idiot constant callers and
people calling before the "QRZ?" this would rarely be a problem, but
I've had occasional trouble with completing hard QSOs with big
DXpeditions when they THINK they have you OK and they don't.
I raised TX5C's attention on 160m and they had me as N3MX ... I sent
my call five or six more times with them listening for me and their
confirmation at the end got lost in the static crashes. I don't know
if I got lost in the QRN or just in the din of the pileup that heard
my "de N3OX N3OX N3OX 5NN BK" and started calling right then, but I
lost the QSO as far as I'm concerned. I *don't* know if I lost the
QSO as far as TX5C was concerned.
I would have hated to work them in the clear later on in the night
and just be told "B4" (though I would have taken it, I got no chances
at all after that ;-) ). I want the chance for a QSO I know is a QSO.
I suspect most people won't be chronic dupers for the sake of boredom
but maybe I'm wrong about that?
