Tools for DXing
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.
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.
*
I will make sure not to splatter, and stay In Band.

A good antenna is as important as a good radio.
My Wire Yagi in Korea
I was required to have the equipment Secured when I was not using it.
A Good Logging Program is needed.
(make sure it inports from and exports to ADIF format)
The best ones for DXers and Contesters have monthly files to update
special Call Signs used on some DXpeditions and Contest Stations.
A Good Telnet Program to feed DX Spots to the log.
A Good Propagation Program is very handy.
