  DX Code of Conduct
 
 
 
    1. I will listen and listen and then listen some more
   
    2. I will only call if I can copy the DX station properly

   
    3. I will not trust the cluster and will be sure of the DX station's call sign
        before  calling

    
    4. I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling him and will
        never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot

   
    6. I will always send my full call sign
   
    7. I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call
        continuously

    
    8. I will not transmit when the DX operator calls another call sign, not mine

    
    9. I will not transmit when the DX operator queries a call sign not like mine

  
  10. I will not transmit when the DX station calls other geographic areas
        than mine

 
  11. When the DX operator calls me I will not repeat my call sign unless
        I think he has copied it incorrectly

 
  12. I will be thankful if and when I do make a contact

  
  13. I will respect my fellow hams and conduct myself so as to earn
        their respect
