But Sweepstakes doesn't have a signal report in the exchange and plenty of
casual folks (usually looking to complete WAS or get some counties or whatever)
are there. You just put 59(9) in the proper space on the QSL! No problemo.

Those of you that are proponents of dropping the RST as redundant may
have overlooked one small thing. Most awards (WAS - DXCC etc.) need a
signal report on the QSL card. (I don't know why). Most casual
operators, that make up the bulk of a serious contesters log, are
operating as a means to acquire QSL cards. If these contacts are
indeed worthless to them, then maybe they just may not be in your log
next contest. Just trying to look at the coin from both sides
