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.
