The Amateur's Creed The Radio Amateur is: Considerate........never knowingly uses the air in such a way to lesson the                                  pleasure of others. Loyal...............offers loyalty, encouragement and support to their fellow radio                                  amateurs, their local radio club, and to the American Radio Relay                                  League, through which Amateur Radio is represented. Progressive.....with knowledge abreast of science. It is well-built and                                  efficient. Operating practice is above reproach. Friendly...........slow and patient sending when requested, friendly advice and                                  counsel to the beginner, kindly assistance, cooperation and                                          consideration for the interests of others. These are marks of the                                    amateur spirit. Balanced.........radio is their hobby. They never allow it to interfere with any of                                  the duties they owe to their home, job, church, school, or                                               community. Patriotic...........their knowledge and their station are always ready for the                                  service of his country and their community.   Who wrote the Amateur's Creed?   The Amateur Creed was composed in 1928 by Paul M. Segal - then 9EEA in Denver,  and General Counsel of the ARRL.   The creed has been updated a few times over the intervening years, to update the text and put it into contemporary terms.   The Amateur's Creed appears in a number of ARRL publications such as the Handbook, and is just as valid today as it has been for nearly 70 years.
