THE PHILIPPINE AMATEUR RADIO CODE "As an amateur radio operator, I recognize my obligations to the public which trusts its safety to my skill and judgement in times of emergency; "To my fellow amateurs, who depend upon me to follow established good operating practice; "To the members of the Philippine Amateur Radio Association, who constantly are striving for greater achievements and over-all improvement in radio communication; "To the beginners, who look up to me to exercise my best judgement and leadership; "To the National Telecommunications Commission, in behalf of the government, which entrust to me in the conduct of my operation, moral, and social responsibilities; "To discharge these obligations, I will at all times observe the highest standard of amateurism. I will never knowingly use the air for my own amusement in such a way that it will lessen the pleasure of others; "I will be slow and patient in sending when requested, give friendly advice and counsel to the beginner, kindly assistance and cooperation to the broadcast listener; "Radio is my hobby. I will never allow it to interfere with any of the duties I owe to my home, my job, or school, or my community; "I will continue to keep abreast of communication development, so that my operating practice, which largely depends on such knowledge may be of the highest order; "I will obey the radio laws and regulations, and the procedures and policies of the association; "I will keep my station ready for the service of my country and my community; "My deportment, both on the air and off, reflects my respect for my association and fellow members, and it shall be such as to bring credit to both; "I pledge adherence to these principles for the advancement of amateur radio and to further the dignity of my hobby. So help me God." Back to Top OTHER PAGES OF INTEREST Philippine Amateur Radio Code APO Loyalty Pledge APO Toast Song World QTR Zone WX Reports FREE HAM RADIO E-TUTORIALS A beginner?
