[ILQSO] Turning off Dupe-Checking in the ILQP

[Jim Funk]

Dupe detection is "manual" when scoring logs.  It's not fool-proof, but just try sneaking one past me, buddy!!!   :)

Hi All, in response to: 

" With logging programs like N3FJP's you can turn off dupe checking so it wont prevent you 
from entering them." 


Not a criticism, but to provoke thoughts and response from our gracious sponsors at WIARC: 


If dupe checking is turned off, what would the ILQP log checking do to a log/score if you enter 
and log W8"xxx" 's 5th call to you from OH for the 8th time when your "running" on 40m? 
(many ops just cruise the bands, and call who they hear. I guess many of them either don't maintain logs 
any more, or they have no idea about contests.) 


Using Writelog, when I log N9JF (or any of the other mobiles active), 
it shows as a dupe until I type in the new county.. 


I log all dupes in all contests. This way nobody gets a NIL. 
I leave the software and log checking to sort it out. 
(Too many ops, especially on CW, don't understand what "b4 or dupe" means) 
It is faster, and more efficient to log 'em and move on.. 
IMHO, and as I was trained.
