> Dear DX Code of Conduct supporter, 
>   
> Most of you have seen much more evidence of our progress in spreading the word about the DX Code of Conduct to the ham radio community. Our site has had almost 16,000 unique visitors. The distribution of visitors is world-wide, one of our key objectives. Click on http://s07.flagcounter.com/more/NoSG to see our statistics.  It has been gratifying to see that the overwhelming majority of DXpeditions have endorsed the Code. 
>   
> For the coming year, our goals are to: 
>   
> 1. Work with DXpedition team leaders to encourage training exercises so that every operator's proficiency at pileup management is at a level consistent with their team's objectives. 
>   
> 2. Continue to get DXPeditions to incorporate the Code EARLY on in their website planning. Many of these sites have 50,000 visitors and we'd sure like more of their visitors come see our website. Whatever click thru rate we can get, it would be better if we were part of their thinking from Day 1. 
>   
> 3. Work with the national societies to get them on board to promulgate the Code to their members through clubs as well as directly to their membership. 'We hope they will post the Code in their language or put a link on their websites.
>   
> 4. Work with the higher profile DX clubs to get them on board on a consistent basis to always work on educating the members about the importance of ethical conduct. 
>   
> 5. We would like to have every National Society send every member - or at least every new member - an e-mail version of John and Mark's book as Standard Operating Procedure, and continue to do it forever. OK, so many new members aren't destined to be DXers, but at least they can get the message that ethical behavior is important to the ham community. 
>   
> At the individual level, you will note that the vast majority of new supporters have incorporated the logo of the Code at their websites. If you signed up before this feature was ready, please take a few minutes, go to www.dx-code.org/link.htm and follow the directions to put it at your website or QRZ page. You can also “talk us up” at your club meetings, perhaps using the Power Point presentation we've prepared. Feedback I received from clubs about the Power Point is enthusiastic.
> 
> The World Wide Radio Operators Foundation - www.wwrof.org - has put together a Contester's Code of Ethics that incorporates our Code.  We wish them great success in promulgating that Code to their constituency.  
> 
> So our thanks to you all for your support of the cause of striving for the best possible ethical operating practices. We hope you take pride in the role you have played in our mutual success.
> 
> Finally, please take a minute to forward this e-mail to your DX-pals.
> 
> For the Committee, 
>
