Guideline 1: The DX-Guide


  1. We will listen before we call a station or activation.

  2. If we cannot hear the station or activation in a pile up-situation, we will not call.

  3. A valid QSO is always a 2-way radio QSO. One way QSO's (SWL-reports), confirmations via other stations, internet etc. does not count for a valid 2-way QSO.
    As a conclusion we define:
    A valid QSO is a two way radio contact between 2 radio stations, exchanging radio reports/progressive numbers both ways on air.

  4. We understand that most activations are using split frequencies, so we will not call on "TX-frequency" (unless we know for sure, that simplex is used).

  5. We do not shout: "What is the activation?", "What is the split-frequency?" etc. on an activations TX-frequency.

  6. We never write QRZ/callsign on envelope when sending QSL.

  7. We always QSL, when we receive a QSL-card. When we receive a QSL-card, and sender is not in our log, we always return our card for collection only (for instance with the text: "Not in log").

  8. We use an adult, mature and gentleman-like language and behaviour on the radio - and also when we use other media (internet, e-mail etc.).
