I worked him on Saturday and was monitoring him because I didn't realize he was a dupe - I was logging the old-fashioned way, with pencil and paper. W9ILY was booming in; I heard him call you but your signal was down in the noise; we are too close for 40m. I hope you had a good one. Propagation didn't seem so good on Sunday.I worked him on 40m shortly before I decided to call it quits for this WFD. Field day started out ok for first couple of hours then slowed down fair bit. Not much activity in the evening and Sunday morning. Picked up just before the end of the contest. W9ILY was likely using paper method like you. I sent the exchange and let them know he a DUPE in my log. Doesn't affect the scoring. I had 14 DUPEs, AD6T was 3 times in less than an hour.
I did ok this year, submitted my results WFD as well as LoTW.
I also submitted my scores to https://3830scores.com/ where you can compare your results right after the contest. They are not official but it's good indicator where you placed after the contest before the official results come out year later.
The next event to look for is the OQP April 17 & 18th. We used to do that one with a the club so hopefully if we may be able do it with a small group. Most times we had no more than 5 or 6 at any one time.
Lets hope for the best.
