I’ve been following this. Apparently another group 32DY was using 3D2V certificate. Giving us multiple contacts on club log.

Just a few minutes ago , thanks to Bart Jahnke W9JJ at ARRL DXCC desk took care of 3d2v lotw certificate. He confirmed the issue with second group applying for the same certificate 3d2v so automatically that one was kicked out. They are starting to send LoTW again for 3d2v. soon 
Mine are confirned.

Subject: [ADXA] FT8 "dupes"
 
I worked 3D2V on FT8 several times since they seem to be on that mode 99% of the time.  I see people criticized for making multiple contacts on FT8 but this tells the tale, at least for this group.  I was shown with 4 contacts on 30M, but they were all within the space of 4 seconds.

People say it is because they don't receive your report or other similar things, but that wouldn't account for this.  It's some kind of strangeness in the software they use, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it is inadvertent.  However, it sure makes your QSO counts misleading.  There are not really dupes, just this group counting one good contact as four.
