SWLQSL 4GLTE Zello Network Code Of Conduct

We look forward to chatting with you and making friends globally on the channel SWLQSL.Com.  This is a place where lovers of radio can come together and discuss a range of interesting topics and life!

When Chatting – Always open with your call sign and name & end with your call sign when you finish talking with someone. 

All Members need to be registered on SWLQSL.Com Must have a valid call sign – Ham Radio call signs / SWARL Call Signs free at www.SWARL.org / GMRS call signs acceptable. (We check before giving access)

Bad Language or harassing – will not be tolerated – you will be warned and then kicked off the channel.

Conversations: If 2 people are chatting longer than 5 minutes continuously the system will allow you to come on and leave your call sign so that they know you are there. Lets keep it fair for everyone!!!

Basic principles that should govern our code of conduct on the channel are:

• SOCIAL FEELING, FEELING OF BROTHERHOOD/SISTERHOOD, BROTHERLY/SISTERLY SPIRIT: large numbers of us are all playing radio on the same channel (our playing field). We are never alone. All other operators are our colleagues, our brothers and sisters, our friends. Act accordingly. Always be considerate.
• TOLERANCE: not all members necessarily share your opinions, and your opinions may also not be the best ones. Understand there are other people with different opinions on a given subject. Be tolerant. This world is not for you exclusively.
• POLITENESS: never use rude language or abusive words on the channel. Such behaviour says nothing about the person it is addressed to, but a lot about the person behaving that way. Keep yourself under control at all times.
• COMPREHENSION: please understand that not everyone is as smart, as professional or as much an expert as you. If you want to do something about it, act positively (how can I help, how can I correct, how can I teach) rather than negatively (cursing, insulting etc.).

Radio Amateurs are: Part of this channels code as well.

• CONSIDERATE… They never knowingly operate in such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others.
• LOYAL… They offer loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs, local clubs, the IARU Radio Society in their country, through which Amateur Radio in their country is represented nationally and internationally.
• PROGRESSIVE… They keep their station up to date. It is well-built and efficient. Their operating practice is above reproach.
• FRIENDLY… They operate slowly and patiently when requested; offers friendly advice and counsel to the beginner; kind assistance, cooperation and consideration for the interests of others. These are the marks of the amateur spirit.
• BALANCED… Radio is a hobby, never interfering with duties owed to family, job, school or community.
• PATRIOTIC… Their station and skills are always ready for service to country and community.
