I am jealous. My XYL has made it extremely clear has no interest, not now, not after retirement. :-)

There is nothing that puts me into a near-rage quicker than hearing "you're a dupe". 
-- First, there's no penalty for dupes anyway, just record the darn contact. 
-- Second, yes, how can one have a big CQing signal in a QP without understanding the basics of mobiles? 
-- Third, it takes 4 times longer to go through the ridiculous dialog of "are you in a new county?", "what county are you in now?", "oh OK, so what's your number" .... sheesh, just record the contact in the usual way so we can both get on with the contest!!!
