The Amateur’s Code

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 Philippine Amateur Radio Association, through which Amateur Radio in the Philippines 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.

– adapted from the original Amateur’s Code, written by Paul M. Segal, W9EEA, in 1928
