No. Jim's comments are very apropos. I am a causal contest op and I always use a logging program with keying simply because it is the most efficient means for me to do so and I have a very lousy fist that equals my lousy handwriting (odd nerve impulses goof things up). It is imperative that the other station copy my callsign correctly so we both get credit for the QSO. I did not do SS but I get the same sort of dupe action operating in our state QSO party, sometimes not more than a few minutes apart. I can only presume that either the op isn't actually logging or miscopied the 1x1 callsign I was using--there are only three of us operating with an 'N' suffix, K0N, N0N, W0N, which I guess is possible to miscopy. Also, QRP is not an excuse to eschew computer logging and clean sending. Some seem to take it to the extreme and think that Morse must be generated by rubbing wires together. 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
