As long as DXCC Challenge, DeSoto Cup and the "ego satisfying" attempts to 
stay at the top of the Honor Roll exists, the DX Code of Conduct is not 
applicapable! For the few that "work them and shut up", many, many more try 
and work them on as many bands/modes as possible. I await the day a "rare" 
DXpedition, that has online log availability, and publishes their operating 
style, penalizes duplicate band callers by removing all of their other 
contacts? If one is sure that they are in the online log, I see absolutely 
no reason for another attempt, on the same band. In the case of a new 
entity, "once per band/mode" should be enforced? I also believe that the DX 
has most of the responsibility of "controlling the pileup"?
