DX CODE OF CONDUCT

 

I WILL LISTEN, AND LISTEN, AND LISTEN

I WILL NOT TRUST THE DX CLUXTER BUT WILL BE SURE OF THE DX STATION'S CALL SIGN BEFORE I CALL

I WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF ALL MY FELLOW HAMS

I WILL NOT TUNE UP ON THE DX's FREQUENCY OR IN THE QSX SLOT

I WILL DO MY BEST NOT TO INTERFERE WITH THE DX OR ANYONE CALLING HIM

I WILL WAIT FOR THE DX TO SIGN OFF FROM THE LAST QSO BEFORE I CALL

I WILL ALWAYS USE MY FULL CALL SIGN UNLESS INSTRUCTED OTHERWISE

I WILL CALL AND THEN LISTEN FOR A RESPONSE FOR A REASONABLE INTERVAL

I WILL KEEP MY SILENCE WHEN THE DX CALLS ANOTHER OPERATOR

I WILL KEEP MY SILENCE WHEN THE OPERATOR QUERIES A CALL NOT EVEN ANYTHING LIKE MINE

I WILL BE THANKFUL WHEN I DO MAKE A CONTACT.

I WILL NOT REPEAT MY CALL WHEN THE DX CALLS ME UNLESS I THINK THAT HE HAS COPIED MY CALL INCORRECTLY

I WILL KEEP MY SILENCE WHEN THE DX STATION CALLS OTHER CONTINENTS OR

COUNTRIES OR CALL AREAS

I WILL CONSIDER A DONATION TO EASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF THE DXERS WHO GAVE ME A GIFT

I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, WHETHER I GOT THROUGH OR NOT, I ALWAYS CONDUCTED MYSELF SO AS TO EARN THE RESPECT OF MY FELLOW HAMS
