[ILQSO] Turning off Dupe-Checking in the ILQP

[Hank Greeb]

N3FJP WILL, I repeat, WILL accept a "dupe" if you change the county.  
Unfortunately, IF a contact is actually a dupe, I haven't found a way to 
induce N3FJP to log it anyway.  Many others will log a dupe, but not 
give any points nor multipliers to the dupe.

N1MM WILL, I repeat, WILL accept a "dupe" if you change the county.  
There's a way to tell it to accept the dupe, but this escapes me at present.

As Zig sez, it's easier to accept the LID who continually calls you, and 
enter a dupe than to argue with him/her.

And, IF ILQP log checkers penalize a log for dupes, then they're light 
years behind the current convention for cabrillo files.
