> A 67-page booklet, "Ethics and Operating Procedures for the Radio Amateur"
> by John Devoldere, ON4UN, and Mark Demeuleneere, ON4WW, is available for
> free download from the ARRL Web site. The booklet is an "Americanized"
> version of the booklet that the authors wrote for an international 
> audience.
> An international version is also available. At its June 2008 meeting, the
> IARU Administrative Council endorsed and recommended the principles set 
> out
> in the booklet as a means of encouraging all radio amateurs "to operate to
> the highest levels of proficiency, with proper consideration for others
> using the amateur radio bands" and as a tool "to teach newcomers and 
> others
> correct operating behavior." The booklet mainly addresses HF operating
> issues, but the principles are also applicable to VHF and higher bands. 
> ARRL
> Chief Executive Officer and IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ, expressed
> appreciation for Devoldere's and Demeuleneere's efforts: "The authors are
> well known, experienced HF operators who are concerned about on-the-air
> operating standards and who decided that 'It's better to light a candle 
> than
> curse the darkness.' Anyone who reads their booklet will learn something, 
> no
> matter how experienced they may be."
