If you have a band opening to two major areas, split them up and work one
area only, switch over to the other area in regular intervals. Remember:
Most of the times one area will be not audible anymore at one point. Work
that area first and cut the pile up in half.

Know your propagation.

Stay true to what you are announcing.

Try to catch full callsigns.

If you use a paddle, know how to use it.

Don't hop in your QSX; give those with a brain a chance.

Check your own TX-QRG. If you got heavy QRM there, just tune down/up a few Hz.

Give your callsign frequently.

Oh well...
