The Good Ham is…

RAC – Amateur Radio Credo

The thoughtful Radio Amateur is:
Responsible -
using courteous operating practice, complying with regulations and accepted technical standards;

Progressive -
striving to develop and improve operating and technical skills;

Helpful -
offering assistance, support and encouragement to other Amateurs, especially beginners; and

Public Spirited -
offering use of station, knowledge and skills as a public service whenever possible.
