A DX Cluster Code of Ethics: now that has legs Andy ....
- Only spot what is generally accepted as DX (i.e. relatively rare or exotic calls on that band, mode and time) - Don't spot the exact QSX frequency (it just makes the pileup more difficult for the DX to handle: "UP" or "DOWN" is enough, real DXers will LISTEN FIRST!!!!) - Don't spot stations that are already very busy (give them a break!) - Don't spot stations that are already struggling to control their pileup (ditto) - Get the call and frequency right, double-check before spotting, and treble-check after spotting (and correct your own mistakes promptly) - Use your own call (your IP address is logged automatically) - Be polite: *never* insult anyone via Dxcluster (remember, it is only a hobby ... and we know your IP address) - Don't post pseudo spots begging for QSOs, QSYs, new modes or whatever (assume the DX is not monitoring the cluster) - Don't post lame non-spots saying you can't hear someone - Don't post brag spots - this is not a pissing contest - Don't try to make, complete or arrange QSOs via DXcluster - Do post helpful comments e.g. IOTA reference, QSL info etc. ... I'm sure we could think of more ... 73 Gary ZL2iFB ----------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.
