[ILQSO] The Amateur's Code

[Hank Greeb]

An online version of the following is on page 5 of http://goo.gl/7ajNW

===========================

The Radio Amateur's Code

The Radio Amateur is

CONSIDERATE. He never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen the 
pleasure of others.

LOYAL... He offers loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs, 
local clubs, the IARU Radio Society in his country, through which 
Amateur Radio in his country is represented nationally and internationally.

PROGRESSIVE... He keeps his station up to date. It is well-built and 
efficient. His operating practice is above reproach.

FRIENDLY... He operates slowly and patiently when requested; offers 
friendly advice and counsel to the beginner; kind assistance, 
cooperation and consideration for the interests of others. These are the 
marks of the amateur spirit.

BALANCED... Radio is a hobby, never interfering with duties owed to 
family, job, school or community.

PATRIOTIC... His station and skills are always ready for service to 
country and community.

-- adapted from the original Amateur's Code, written by Paul M. Segal, 
W9EEA, in 1928
