> Good Job Don!
>  From the ARRL Letter...http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter/04/0326/
>
> Kentucky ham offers his good operating tips: Don Snodgrass, K4QKY, of
> Murray, Kentucky, believes that being a good "Elmer" (Amateur Radio
mentor)
> involves much more than assisting someone to pass the license examination.
> A supporter of the ARRL's recent Petition for Rule Making
> <http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/01/19/1/> to the FCC, Snodgrass
says
> he's eager to do his part to welcome new operators to the HF bands when
the
> time comes. In the meantime, he's offering his recommended "Good
> Operating Practices"
> <http://campus.murraystate.edu/org/msuarc/goodoperatingpractices.htm> on
> his Web site.
>
> "Most hams develop their operating practices--most good, but some not so
> good--simply by listening to more-experienced hams," Snodgrass said.
"These
> suggested guidelines are based on what one ham feels he has
> learned from listening to other hams since 1972." His philosophy,
expressed
> within his list of dos and don'ts, is that amateurs who develop good
> operating practices will help to sustain Amateur Radio's "long and proud
> tradition of self-regulation." At the top of his "do" list: "Always be
> polite, regardless of the circumstances. If not, avoid transmitting."
