Board rules

These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on The 60MGroup. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.

  1. Registration:
    • The Membership of the 60mGroup, "the Board", is limited to Licensed Amateur Radio Operators, aka "Hams". You must register using your licensed Amateur Radio Operator Callsign.
    • Your Callsign will be checked against the publicly available registers, eg QRZ.COM, before your membership will be activated.
    • A valid email address is normally required as part of your membership and is very useful to improve your user experience on the Board, eg email alerts when somebody replies to a post, however, if you do not wish to disclose your email address to the Board, you can enter in a "dummy" email address, such as johnsmith@there1are2times3when4to5be6careful.org, the domain "there1are2times3when4to5be6careful.org" does not exist anywhere on the Internet. The dummy email address mynameisspartacus@kirk.douglas for example should also be accepted for registration purposes.

    Content
    • Postings to the Board should be restricted to content as permitted in your license conditions.

    • No Copyright material should be posted to the Board unless the poster is the legal Copyright owner. Where the material is available on the Internet, eg https://rsgb.org/main/operating/band-plans/hf/5mhz/ a link/URL to such content should be used rather than copying & pasting the content itself
    Conduct
