This is a very painful subject to me.
Usually I get 200+ dupes in major Contest from brainless "point-and-clickers".
I've tried different techniques. The only one that really works is
(unfortunately) suggested by K5KG - QSY.
:-(
So, I am with K5KG and NR4M on that. Don't waste your time trying to explain.
Especially on CW. They wouldn't listen.

Hello all,
My former call was NJ4F. About 20 years ago, on a WPX CW contest, which has
always been my favorite, we had stations coming back to us as 'N1VF'
and even 'N14F' (as if we can do that one here in the states...) It was such a
mess, that a couple of the ops told me if I didn't do 'something'
with the call, they wouldn't be back. I got NR4M as a vanity call.
Fast forward to current times... Now, I have issues with people mis-copying
the call as NR-5-M. I'm this is a case of not really copying the call, but
clicking on a bad spot and not checking before sending their callsign.
Terrible thing to be operating during the typical Sunday afternoon doldrums and
all of a sudden get a hugh pile up of stations who are all dupes, thinking they
are working NR-5-M. Obviously, this is a would be a contest in which George,
NR5M, is not participating in.
You just have to find a new frequency.
