DXU Best Practices

With ever increasing activity, pileup behavior on the DX bands seems to 
be becoming worse and worse. The /DX Code of Conduct/ is a widely 
circulated list of operating rules that have been adopted by many 
DXpeditions. The original Code is directed at DXers, and it instructs 
them how to operate in a way that could bring order and make pileups 
more civil.

Less widely known is that "The DX Code of Conduct" Web pages also 
contain a set of guidelines for DXpeditioners or /DXpeditioner's Code//. 
/The DX-Code organization has asked DXpedition leaders to "support" the 
DX Code of Conduct. Which code they support is not always clear, however.

To clarify this situation, the DX University offers clearly delineated 
guidelines for both DXpeditioners /and/ DXers. They are referred to 
separately as "Best Practices for DXpedition Operating" 
<http://www.dxuniversity.com/showpage.php?id=20&title=Best_Practices_for_DXpedition_Operating%20> 
and"Best Practices for Courteous and Efficient DXing." 
<http://www.dxuniversity.com/showpage.php?id=25&title=Best_Practices_for_Courteous_and_Efficient_DXing%20>Links 
to these pages are found elsewhere on this page. Best Practices" for 
DXers is similar to those of the DX Code of Conduct, although presented 
as suggestions.

The "Best Practices for DXpedition Operating" is the result of a 
considerable effort by a group of experienced DXers and DXpeditioners 
who hold strongly to the principle that /DXpeditioners themselves/ are 
in the best position to control and manage their pileups.

We hope that DXpedition leaders and operators will review and adhere 
closely to the /Best Practices for DXpeditioning Operating/ 
<http://www.dxuniversity.com/showpage.php?id=20&title=Best_Practices_for_DXpedition_Operating%20> 
in order to help assure well-run operations. While the DX 
University takes no position on how these guidelines can or should be 
used, we hope that the organizations might would recommend these "Best 
Practices," These guidelines are simply offered as our recommendations 
for good operating practices.
