Ethics and operating proceedures for the Radio Amateur

The international Amateur Radio Union have a long and very interesting document about operating ethics on the radio.
It highlights common problems and issues and has a good section on the fine art of CW communication. PSK and other digital modes are also covered.
Examples from the text are as follows:

The document is available at:

Thanks for that information Ralph.

Zello update.

We introduced you to Zello on this blog and since then I have been listening around to some of the many Amateur Radio Channels (go to www.zello.com and look for the channels link, type in “Amateur” or “Ham Radio” in the search facility). One nice new channel I found and had a chat on was “World Wide Amateur Radio” which currently has 60+ participants.

Why not try the Amateur radio channels and let the blog know (comments) if you find any interesting ones.

Have fun talking!
