And what about the BIG BIG domestic stations who park theirselves in the DX 
window for contests?
With skimmers, can we not PROVE they've done this and disqualify them?

  Keyclicks remain a big issue, Some of the worst offenders are also big
  contesting stations who come near the top of the results tables every
  year. One cannot help wondering if a certain amount of 'keyclick' is all
  part of a strategy to keep their run frequency clear, If so then it
  should simply be considered cheating and result in a % deduction from
  the overall score.

  Now that it's possible for an entire band to be recorded for the entire
  duration of a contest, perhaps even from multiple locations it should be
  possible adjudicate on this.

  There really should be no excuses these days for stations who don't take
  action to ensure that their transmitted signal is of good quality and
  click free.
