I'm licensed since Jun 2010 and start my DX'ing on 10m SSB on 12 November 2010. Complete my 100 DXCC on 10m SSB at 19 October 2011. Feeling good now.”

That is a remarkable effort especially when you think how the bands have been.

• I will only call if I can copy the DX station properly.
• I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station's call sign before calling.
• 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.
• I will wait for the DX station to end a contact before I call.
• I will always send my full call sign.
• I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call continuously.
• I will not transmit when the DX operator calls another call sign, not mine.
• I will not transmit when the DX operator queries a call sign not like mine.
• I will not transmit when the DX station requests geographic areas other than mine.
