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.
