[SFDXA] John ON4UN's wisdom - Ethics and Operating Procedures for the Radio Amateur

[Bill]

/From another list:

/Over the years I've had newer hams ask me about disappointing stuff 
they heard on HF or on VHF repeaters and I would tell them they should 
try to emulate John ON4UN's wisdom as captured in the IARU 2008 Ethics 
and Operating Procedures for the Radio Amateur - even if many don't and 
even if you don't follow every item. It's kinda like trying to be a good 
CW op even if many others aren't. If you hear stuff not living  up to 
ON4UN's standards, twist the dial and move on.

An excerpt:

•Some subjects which are a no no in amateur radio conversations on the 
air are:
–Religion.
–Politics.
–Business (you can talk about your profession, but you cannot advertise 
for your business).
–Derogatory remarks directed at any group (ethnic, religious, racial, 
sexual etc.).
–‘Bathroom humor’: if you wouldn't tell the joke to your ten year old 
child, don't tell it on the radio.
–Any subject that has no relation whatsoever with the ham radio hobby.
