[PaQSO] Dupe Sheet from N1MM

[Hank Greeb]

  Charlie:

Why would a dupe sheet be necessary for an electronic submission?  Seems 
like a redundancy. N1MM shouts at you in Red Letters that a potential 
contact is a dupe, so unless you're really asleep at the switch, there 
should be no dupes.  Many other logging programs won't even let you 
enter a dupe, but, I can see that, for some "big" contests, if the time 
on a contact isn't within a few minutes of that in the corresponding 
log, then the contact won't be counted.  So, there's probably a reason 
n1mm accepts a dupe, but gives it zero points and zero multipliers.

Besides,  the log checking software should be able to determine dupes.  
If it can't, so be it.

Since it seems a dupe sheet is absitively necessary and N1MM won't do 
it, you can import the data into a spreadsheet (like Excel, OpenOffice, 
etc.), and sort by band/mode/call (in that order), and "voila" you have 
a dupe sheet in electronic form.

I think the Nittny club is a small club, with a small budget, so they 
like donations to help fill the budget to cover the expenses.  I don't 
have a problem with that.  I don't think anyone has a problem with 
that.  The requirement for a paper summary sheet does seem like an 
anachronism to me.  Maybe they should subscribe to Paypal and offer it 
as a method to accept donations?   The 7% expense for Paypal could be 
covered by suggesting $3.25 or $3.50 instead of $3.00 for paper 
donations.   It would save the donor postage time, and trouble, and 
probably get more donations via the 21th century method of donation.
