CW Skimmer and Skimmer Server take the "historical plausibility" of 
prefixes into consideration in deciding how rigorously to validate the 
callsign.  TK5 and EK3 are pretty plausible.  Adding an extra half-space 
between multiple renditions of the callsign has been reported to be a 
good way of avoiding this sort of busts, because Skimmer is quite good 
at figuring out when one "word" has ended.
