There are some lids participating in the Fox Hunts, which are barely fun anymore. One station tonight called continuously 11 times non stop. That interferes with other stations listening and it interferes with the fox. Then, when the fox asked for his name, he sent his state about five times fast. The fox had to ask for the name twice. If this event is to be a good way to learn and practice pileups, I assume we are talking about DX pileups. There is a DX Code of Conduct often adhered to in DXing. I see no reason why the Fox Hunt cannot adhere to the same courteous code of conduct. Here are the two relevant sections of the code:

?

4-I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and will never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.

7-I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call continuously.
