I have the Writelog software set up to play a "dupe" .wav file when a
dupe call is entered. When calling CQ, I usually just work the dupe,
knowing the software will mark it as such and not claim the QSO, but I
do a lot of S and P work and it is nice to enter the call and get the
dupe warning before wasting my time calling him.
73 and Merry Christmas to all, Steve KW3A
