- Do spot DX you have worked or heard when tuning the band for the benefit of all.
- Do use the DX cluster to help you find DX during the contest
- Don't use the DX cluster to help the DX find you (e.g. by self spotting)
- Don't ask other stations that you work to "please spot me"
- Don't spot DX you've just worked on your frequency
- Don't spot your fellow team member (if operating in club/team/multi band contests e.g. UKAC, AFS, VHF NFD etc.)
- Dont post any messages on internet facilities including but not limited to ON4KST or similar during the contest period unless you are entering a contest/section that permits active internet use. Note: Passive users of internet facilities (e.g. ON4KST or similar etc.) may act on information in posts (e.g. CQ calls, direct messages “are you available” or “please repeat information” or questions) as long as no reply is posted. It is recommended that passive users of internet facilities set their status as "away" in order to inform active internet users that no reply will be posted to questions etc.
- Dont display your operating frequency on any internet facility (e.g. in the Users list on ON4KST) during the contest period unless you are entering a section that permits active internet use.
