  Please do not call unless you are copying the DX station.

An element of the DX Code of Conduct is to NEVER call a station that you cannot copy well enough to follow his directions. Hams who call without hearing are LIDS.

That said, with the slow QSB that is common on Topband, it's easy to call when you hear, not hear a response because the DX is in a fade, and end up calling on top of him.
