[CTSARA] DX Code of Conduct

[Tom Alessi]

Good Morning GNARC Members, SARA Member and Frirends:

New hams may not have ever heard or seen this before, but this is the "DX
Code of Conduct".    It is a set of *Rules of Etiquette* when working DX.

Basically, a guideline for how
* "Not to be a Jerk, on the Air".*
*DX Code Of Conduct *

I will listen, and listen, and then listen again before calling.
<http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#1>
I will only call if I can copy the DX station properly.
<http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#2>
I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station's call
sign before calling. <http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#3>
I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and will never
tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.
<http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#4>
I will wait for the DX station to end a contact before I call.
<http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#5>
I will always send my full call sign.
<http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#6>
I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call
continuously. <http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#7>
I will not transmit when the DX operator calls another call sign, not mine.
<http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#8>
I will not transmit when the DX operator queries a call sign not like mine.
<http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#9>
I will not transmit when the DX station requests geographic areas other
than mine. <http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#10>
When the DX operator calls me, I will not repeat my call sign unless I
think he has copied it incorrectly. <http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#11>
I will be thankful if and when I do make a contact.
<http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#12>
I will respect my fellow hams and conduct myself so as to earn their
respect.  <http://www.dx-code.org/english.html#13>
