Subj : Echo Description To : ALL From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri Jul 01 2016 09:17 am This message area is for topics dealing with on the air courtesy in ham radio. The expression "courtesy costs nothing, but pays big dividends" is true in ham radio. If you treat fellow ham radio operators with respect, they will do likewise for you. Topics covered will be etiquette, both for conversations (QSO's), and especially during traffic nets. An uncourteous amateur radio operator makes things difficult for all concerned, and it could cause them to lose their amateur radio license. Note that I am working on preparing batchfiles for these message areas, and it may take some time to get these posts going. Also, since I consider messages over 30 days old to be out of date on my BBS, these messages are deleted after that point, and reposted once a month, with new information, when required.
