People with key clicks are probably not aware of it.  Instead of "599K 
001" you could always send "597 001" or "5NK 001".  Stations sending 
such a report should not be penalised if it is not acknowledged by the 
receiving station and stations receiving several such reports should be 
penalised.  The same applies to splatter from overdriven amplifiers, of 
which there was one particular culprit in the last SSB contest.
