The simplest challenging thing to send is just a serial number. In the
upcoming WPX contest, dump the obligatory and meaningless 599 and keep all
else the same.
Serial number contests are my least favorite, actually. I hate it in CW
contests when EUs come back at me with 50 WPM cut numbers. What was that?
Or you could mandate true signal reports. Long ago people did send more
or less accurate RSTs. I have really old CQ WW contest logs with lots of
569s and 579s. The problem is that with modern equipment, amps and good
antennas many stations really are 599.

JARTS one is good. Keeps your interest up watching for what is coming
up, instead of mindlessly clicking on it. And get a chuckle from the
bashful 00 that are sent :-).
