The problem with call districts is they really don't mean anything any
more. For example, is it fair for me, in Colorado, to fight it out with
the 2s in NY/NJ?

Hello,
I would like to suggest that another "Best Practice" would be to
continue to use the call districts
when asking for US stations so as to minimize some of the chaos.

*Subject:* [DX-NEWS] Best Practices for DXpedition Operating
Hello,
We believe that much of the chaos on the bands during DXpeditions is
caused by the operating tactics of the DXpedition operator – this
leads to poor operating by DX-Chasers, and therefore to chaos. At a
meeting of RSGB, CDXC and GM-DX on October 13th we agreed to
strengthen the ‘DX Code of Conduct’ and to prioritise the DXpedition
side. This has now been completed, thanks to Wayne N7NG and ‘DX
University’, and has been renamed ‘Best Practices for DXpedition
Operating’. Please see:
http://www.dxuniversity.com/showpage.php?id=20&title=Best_Practices_for_DXpedition_Operating
or go to www.dxuniversity.com click on DXpeditioning Tools, then Basic
Practices. Each of the 13 points is hyper-linked to some explanatory text.
We would hope that DX organisations will adopt it as a condition of
funding. This would hopefully spread to become the normal requirement
for all DXpedition funding: DXpeditions would not only ‘support’ it,
but would also implement it on-air. In this way we expect that chaos
on DX bands can be reduced somewhat whenever a DXpedition is under way.
I look forward to seeing your comments,
73 de Roger/G3SXW.
