[TenTec] [Ten-Tec-Omni-VII] AMATUER RADIO IS ALIVE AND WELL

[John Occhipinti]

Bob, thank you for reminding me that I also have the A-1 Operator Club Certificate hanging on my wall. I will try on 7.270 today, as I copied  8 different frequencies calling CQ for the NC QSO Party down the band from 7.270.

  Nothing like a “ blast from the past” to bring some fresh air back into these old shacks. A worthy reminder. Tnx John.

  Sunday has arrived and Amateur Radio Operators are all geared up for a plethora of activites on the ham bands which includes; DX, contesting, maritime nets, special events, round table discussions, various nets named for specific radios, veterans nets, a multiplicity of other nets and let's not forget the TEN-TEC 40 meter and 20 meter SSB nets.

  The TEN-TEC 40 meter SSB net will be meeting today at 20:00 UTC somewhere in the vicinity of 7.250 to 7.270 (wherever we can find a clear frequency that is not already in use). I will personally be on 40 meters at 19:00 UTC looking for a clear frequency to run our net today. I am asking for several of our regular stations to meet me in that area of the band at that time.

  The TEN-TEC 20 meter SSB net will meet at 21:00 UTC on or about 14.325 (depending on if it is occupied by other Amateur Radio Operators).

  Amateur Radio Operators are no different than any other person (as our founding fathers declared; "we are all created equal") and we are also prone to forget certain things as time goes by. Every baseball team, no matter how good or great the batters may be, always take batting practice before every game.

  Many of us Amateur Radio Operators need to be reminded of the day that we took our test and became licensed operators. We knew that this was a great priviledge, but as time goes by, we feel that we do not need to take batting practice anymore and this causes the 
  Amateur Radio bands to deteriorate and spark division and controversy with other ham operators who we do not like or agree with.

  So, I am taking batting practice today and posting something that was written in 1928 by Paul M. Segal, W9EEA called, "The Amateur's Code".

  The Radio Amateur is:

  1.CONSIDERATE, never knowingly operates in such a way as to lesson the pleasure of others.

  2.LOYAL, offers loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs, loyal clubs, and the American Radio Relay League, through which Amatuer Radio in the United States is represented nationally and internationally.

  3.PROGRESSIVE, with the knowledge abreast of science, a well-built and efficient station and operation above reproach.

  4.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.

  5.BALANCED: radio is avocaton, never interfering with duties owed to family, job, school or community.

  6.PATRIOTIC: station and skill always ready for service to country and community.

  When these are put into practice, the weakest batter on the TEN-TEC team will be batting .400 and we all will be winners in the game of life! Thank you for your time.
