THE AMATEURS CODE

by Paul M. Segal, W9EEA (1928)

The Radio Amateur is:

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

LOYAL..... offering loyalty, encouragement and support to other 
amateurs, local clubs and the American Radio Relay League, through which 
Amateur Radio in the United States is represented nationally and 
internationally.

PROGRESSIVE..... with knowledge abreast of science, a well built and 
efficient station, and operation beyond reproach.

FRIENDLY..... with slow and patient operation when requested, friendly 
advice and counsel to the beginner, kindly assistance, co-operation and 
consideration for the interests of others. These are the hallmarks of 
the amateur spirit.

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

PATRIOTIC..... with station and skill always ready for service to 
country and community.
