            I will almost always
            operating “split”, in other words listening a few kHz away from
            where we are transmitting so everyone can still hear me no matter
            how many callers are calling.   I will occasionally tell
            you exactly where to transmit by saying something specific like
            “listening up five” or “listening two-fifty“ but most of the
            time we will just say “up” or “down” (“dn” on CW) as a
            clue to where you should tune your TX. 
            PS  We sometimes
            make mistakes too and shift the wrong VFO - sorry, we’re only
            human. 
            By maintaining a
            consistent rhythm, i hope to avoid encouraging other callers to call
            while a QSO is still in progress.  I will simply ignore
            tail-enders and, if they are really rude, we may blacklist blind
            callers, at least for a while. If i hear someone we have just worked
            immediately calling again, i  will repeat their call and say
            something like “QSL” or “You’re in the log” to confirm and
            complete the QSO.  If i made a mistake in the log, we will
            correct it and confirm on air.  We may just ignore callers
            making duplicate calls on different occa 
            I will also be
            listening more than I transmit.  We will use our filters etc.
            to the best effect and will make a special effort to pick out weak
            callers, whether DX or QRPers or Mobiles  (ideally both!) 
            We may repeat just a
            few characters of a call if we cannot resolve the complete call. 
            This means we are listening to someone specific and will persist
            until we get the complete call.  If we made a genuine mistake
            and nobody returns to our first or second offer, we will say
            something like “No copy, QRZ” or “NIL” on CW but please be
            patient until that point.

                Will
                try to give you more than one band and mode. 
                See
                you during our
                Adventure

Please
              kindly if you ear  or work us, spot on the cluster to others.
              I will look out especially for well modulated signals, even the
              weak ones, and will make sure our own signal is clean. 
             - 
              
We
              give special attention to QRPs , SWL , NOVICE and Mobile Stations

Please
              NO DUPES QSO's , give the chance to others! If you work us
              already, please don't call again at least on different mode.

If
              propagation opens up for DX QSOs, I may start calling specific
              areas or continents but only for a while, Ie promise. 
              I'm  conscient of the short greyline openings to North
              America  and Asia, and will be looking for long path as well
              as short path openings when the time is right.  If I work
              some juicy DX in a run of ordinary QSOs, I may put the pileup on
              hold and call for more DX to take advantage of the opportunity. 
              Be patient with me: I like working DX too!

            6. Short Wave Listener applications will be accepted 
            and the Award certificate issued,  
            with appropriate endorsements as
            applicable,  
            when all conditions listed above are

            7. QSL cards are not required as proof of valid
            contacts 
            but the application must show that log
            extracts have been examined 
            and verified by two other radio
            amateurs or the  
            Awards Manager of the applicants IARU
            affiliated radio society.
