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;
