<< Or how about requiring a TRUE signal report? You'd only need two
rules:
1. Anyone who sent the same report (599) to every station would be
disqualified.
2. The report you log would have to match what the other guy sent.
A true signal report would be quite useful in evaluating one's station
over the course of a contest and a lot more interesting than a bunch
of serial numbers.

I like this idea, because it is true what Bill says about the usefulness, but
see difficulties in realizing it. After all you just implement a random rst
generator into the logging software and thats it. The other problem is that i
am sure many casual contesters who only give you some points like to give you
599 because they are also used to give it to DX-peditions and other pile-up
type operations. Still I like the idea. Please keep thinking about it. I am
not for abolishing rsts. Just would like to make exchangings more meaningful
and more difficult to copy (!!)
