	Good Operating Practices Dept.     Memo No. 29887
	___________________________________________

Unfortunately, there are very few good resources with instructions on 
HOW TO OPERATE PROPERLY.   I am still a relatively new ham, and I would 
love to read clear, reliable descriptions of how to use the equipment 
properly,  how to conduct a QSO, and the like.   AC6V had a nice 
tutorial on DXing practices, and another one on FM repeater usage, but 
that is about all I have seen.  The ARRL books, such as the ARRL 
Operating Handbook mostly discuss equipment needed, but hardly discuss 
operating protocol or good manners.   I try to listen to what others are 
doing, but there are so many bad examples these days it is difficult to 
catch on to the best practices.   I have worked the famous ON4UN - and I 
know he keeps a little list of rude operators he won't work - if you 
keep calling over his QSO, he simply announces he won't work caller 
XX8YY.  Kinda fun to hear him do that.

I am open to examining any such resources you guy throw my way.  The 
best ones explain why a certain knob or feature works and when you wanna 
employ it.  I have a directory on my computer just for articles on good 
operating practices.
