A 67-page booklet, "Ethics
and Operating Procedures for the Radio Amateur" by John Devoldere,
ON4UN, and Mark Demeuleneere, ON4WW, is available for free download from the
ARRL Web site. The booklet is an "Americanized" version of the booklet that the
authors wrote for an international audience. ARRL Chief Executive Officer
and IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ, expressed appreciation for Devoldere's
and Demeuleneere's efforts: "The authors are well known, experienced HF
operators who are concerned about on-the-air operating standards and who decided
that 'It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness.' Anyone who reads
their booklet will learn something, no matter how experienced they may
be."
