I agree with all of these, but ....

o I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station's
call sign before calling.

Very difficult when the DX end goes for along time without IDing at
all.  Worth it, of course, but very difficult.


o  I will not transmit when the DX station requests geographic areas
other than mine.

If only all DX would call USA stations by number!


o  When the DX operator calls me, I will not repeat my call sign
unless I think he has copied it incorrectly.

By FCC rule, I must identify every 10 minutes and at the end of a
communication, so I will repeat my call at the end.  Sorry.
