Maybe it would help if there was a setting to keep the contest window sorted by callsign. This might not help as much once that list gets very large, but I think it would help the casual contester. (This is a suggestion for a future release, not 2.0) Mark KC1GWX On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 1:20 PM

Contesters tend to make the QSO and log the dupe since it takes less time than to inform someone they are a dupe and they may have broken your call when they logged the previous QSO which is probably why they do not know they are a dupe. In FT8 though, what are the chances of a broken call
