DX Code of Conduct

I will listen, and listen, and then listen again before calling.

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.

When the DX operator calls me, I will not repeat my call sign unless I think he has copied it incorrectly.

I will be thankful if and when I do make a contact.

I will respect my fellow hams and conduct myself so as to earn their respect.

The Radio Amateur's Code Posted by Malaysia DX Community on 10:23 AM

I believe all of us should learn and live by the Radio Amateur's Code. I hope you agree.


The Radio Amateur is

Considerate... He/She never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others.

Loyal... He/She offers loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs, local clubs, the radio society in his/her country, through which amateur radio in his/her country is represented nationally and internationally.

Progressive... He/She keeps his/her station up to date. It is well-built and efficient. His/Her operating practice is above reproach.

Friendly... He/She operates slowly and patiently when requested; offers friendly advice and counsel to the beginner; kind assistance, cooperation and consideration for the interests of others. These are the marks of the amateur spirit.

Balanced... Radio is a hobby, never interfering with duties owed to family, job, school or community.

Patriotic... His/Her station and skills are always ready for service to country and community.
