Good DX Etiquette – Operating Split
• Listen carefully before you call a DX
station on his frequency
– “Rare” DX stations often work SPLIT
• DX station announces “Up”
• Calling stations transmit up (usually 2-5 Khz)
• Everybody else can hear him without QRMing him
• 40 Meter SSB
– DX stations can’t operate above 7.100 Mhz
– Listen for DX station to indicate listening
frequency (QSX) in US phone band
ALWAYS LISTEN ON YOUR XMIT FREQUENCY BEFORE CALLING!!
