The IARU R1 is seeking volunteers to help update the “ETHICS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR THE RADIO AMATEUR” document. This document is a valuable resource for all radio amateurs, and it is important that it is kept up to date with the latest practices and technologies.

If you are an experienced radio amateur with a strong understanding of ethics and operating procedures, we encourage you to consider volunteering to help with this project. Your contributions will help to ensure that the document remains a valuable resource for the amateur radio community for many years to come.

Here are some areas but not limited to where volunteers can help:

  • Reviewing and updating the existing text to reflect on the latest practices and technologies.
  • Adding new content to address emerging issues in the amateur radio community.
