JUST IMAGINE ...
IMAGINE ... sitting in your room talking to people in distant lands --- senators and
sailors, doctors and lawyers, students and teachers, astronauts and farmers ...
IMAGINE ... hearing about world events as they happen from people who are there. Listening to
far off places with strange names ...
IMAGINE ... a voice breaking through the air calling YOU ...
THAT, my friends, is the wonderful world of ham radio and you could be part of it!
THE AMATEUR'S CODE ... The Radio Amateur is:
CONSIDERATE ... Never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen the
pleasure of others.
LOYAL ... Offers 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 above reproach.
FRIENDLY ... Slow and patient operating when requested; friendly advice and counsel
to the beginner; kindly assistance, cooperation and consideration for the interests of
others. These are the hallmarks of the amateur spirit.
BALANCED ... Radio is an avocation, never interfering with duties owed to family,
job, school or community.
PATRIOTIC ... Station and skill always ready for service to country and community.
The original Amateur's Code was written by: Paul M Segal, W9EEA, in 1928.
WORDS OF WISDOM:
"For every $1 spent on an antenna, it's like spending $10 worth of radio or amplifier
equipment."
"Improve your antenna, improve your signal -- then buy a fancy radio and amp ... otherwise
your fancy new radio and amp is just a costly space heater."
