Amateur Code

What is this?

The amateur radio community has a "code", called the "Amateur's Code". It's been around for a century and over time it has evolved in an attempt to follow the changing attitudes within society. 

This list of articles represents a deep exploration of the code as it was, as it is and what it could become.

It was originally published as eight sequential episodes of the weekly podcast "Foundations of Amateur Radio", by Onno VK6FLAB.

These articles were collected here so others might share these thoughts and start a discussion about the nature of our hobby and our community and the evolution of our code.
