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.
