DX Code of Conduct
The DX Code of Conduct is a set of guidelines established to promote courteous and efficient operating practices among amateur radio operators, particularly in DXing (long-distance radio contacts). These principles help ensure that DX operations run smoothly, minimize interference, and foster respect within the global amateur radio community.
1.
Listen and Learn
Before calling, operators should carefully listen to the ongoing transmission to understand the DX station’s pattern and instructions.
2.
Respect Operating Frequencies
Avoid interfering with ongoing QSOs (conversations) and honor band plans and operating conventions.
3.
Wait for the Right Moment
Call only when the DX station is actively listening for contacts and avoid unnecessary or repeated calling.
4.
Use Proper Calling Techniques
Call with your full callsign clearly, avoid excessive calling, and refrain from using shortcuts like “last two” of your callsign.
5.
Avoid Tuning on the DX Frequency
Tune your radio away from the active frequency to avoid causing QRM
6.
Follow the DX Operator’s Instructions
If the DX station calls for specific regions, prefixes, or modes, respect their request and wait your turn.
7.
Log Accurately
Ensure your logs are correct to prevent duplicate contacts or incorrect confirmations.
8.
Be Patient and Courteous
DXing is a discipline that requires patience. Avoid deliberate interference, excessive calling, or engaging in arguments.
9.
Support Good Operating Practices
Promote ethical DXing by encouraging others to follow these best practices.
10.
Respect Others in the Hobby
Amateur radio is a shared resource. Treat others with kindness, maintain professionalism, and help newcomers learn proper operating etiquette.

Amateur Radio & Emergency Communications
I have been an active amateur radio operator since 1990, holding the callsign TA2LE. Over the years, amateur radio has been more than just a hobby for me—it has been a crucial tool for emergency communication, community service, and international collaboration.
