DX Code of Conduct isn't particularly new. Many others,
notably ON4WW and ON4UN in their publications, have
discussed ethical operator behavior in detail.
We strongly urge you to download and
read their book, Ethics and Operating Procedures
for the Radio Amateur. It is the bible
of good operating practices. It is now available
in 23 languages with more on the way. You can

the book in your language.

on page 64. It includes an astonishing amount of
information on Morse Code that will delight any
CW operator. |

G3SXW offered an interesting analysis of pile-up
behavior in The DX Magazine.
Another
interesting commentary comes from YO4PX in his article
To
Err is Human.
Also
be sure to check out AA0MZ's page SO
YOU WANT TO BE A DXer.
In
addition, excellent tips for good conduct
have been published by ZL2IFB
and N4AA
at their websites.
"RadCom"
is the official magazine of the RSGB. There are
some well thought-out comments on the topic "Let’s
try and clean up our act in 2011."
Another good article is Working
DX should be fun - shouldn't it?
Roger
K7NTW has some observations from The DX Magazine
in Don’t Cross over
to the DARK SIDE
You
