[NLRS] DUPE SHEET

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

The *KEY* as I see it, is that requirement to generate and submit a dupe 
sheet applies ONLY to PAPER entries. If you send a Cabrillo file, it is OK 
to leave DUPES in and "most" logging programs will generate Cabrillo (just 
keep in iind that if you are "claiming" a score with dupes in, it will 
definitely end up being reduced but I understand there is no penalty for 
dupes...busted calls, errors in transcribing calls/grid squares, however, a 
different story). I've learned/perfected some tricks to generate Cabrillo 
"formatted" log by getting my QSOs entered into an Excel Spreadsheet 
(withOUT a logging program) and would be happy to *try* and share this with 
anyone interested.

There is ALSO the web-based applet at: http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/ which, I 
believe, will take a log in *almost any* "delimited" form of a log after 
prompting for some info that it needs to generate the "header" part of the 
log and will create a Cabrillo formatted entry...it can even handle Rovers 
(and weren't there a LOT of them out there this weekend!). Check that out as 
another way to avoid having to create a dupe sheet.
