The original text has been duplicated with theexception of the numbers and phonetics pages. These pages have beenexpanded with materials from the additional supplemental languagebooklets.PREFACEDear readers, when the authors of the "Radio Amateur's ConversationGuide" got interested in amateur radio in the beginning of1960's, one of the firstpurchases connected with the hobby was the "Ham's Interpreter" by OH2SQ andDLICU. Using this guide, young schoolboys were able to work DX stations intheir own language, which was in many cases necessary in order to get a newDXCC country. Further developing their knowledge of foreign languages with thebase provided by the "Ham's Interpreter" was much easier and practicing thenewly gained mastery was a pure pleasure to be tried out on the ham bands.Since the radio amateur hobby has become technically more sophisticatedand the "Ham 's Interpreter" has disappeared from the bookshops, the demandfor a new modern conversation guide satisfying the needs of the radio amateurfraternity has become evident. To meet this need the Radio Amateur'sConversation Guide was compiled. It represents the fruit of cooperation ofseveral DX operators in different parts of the world.

The English text was written by OHIBR and OH2BAD and was thenchecked by Laurie Margolis, G3UML. The following well-known DXers didtranslations into other languages:German- Bernd v. Bojan, DJTYEFrench- the Clipperton DX Club (sec.Bernard Chereau, F91E)Italian- Umberto Cambieri, I2CBMand Antonio Vernucci, IHJXRussian Vladimir Kaplun, UAICKSpanish Jorge Cangas, EA4LHPortuguese Gerson Rissin, PYIAPS andJemesson Faria, PYTBXCJapanese Nobyasu Itoh, JAIKSO and NaokiAkiyama, JH1VRQRussian is represented twice, first in Cyrillic letters, then also in the Latinalphabet for the convenience of non-Soviet readers wishing to use the Guide. Aphonetic transliteration conforming to general European practice was furnishedby OHIBR.We wish to extend our heartiest thanks to all fellow radio enthusiasts whohave participated in this project. Valuable help in checking the translations wasgiven by Jean-Pierre Guillou, F9RM and Nestor Coll, YV5BID/OH2ZAN.This booklet is only the first step towards a more comprehensive project,but we feel that the most urgent need has been met. We intend to publishadditional supplements to the Guide in minor languages, which are in lessdemand among the radio amateur fraternity. Finnish and Serbo-Croatiantranslations have already been made. Swedish is next in line and otherlanguages will follow.We hope that our readers will excuse any errors and omissions in theGuide. H e would appreciate it if readers will kindly send corrections andadditions to the following address: TRANSELECTRO OY, P.O. Box 119, SF04201 Kerava, Finland.If the Radio Amateur's Conversation Guide helps to foster goodwill amongradio amateurs in different countries, how far they may be from one another inmany respects, the labor of the compilers of this Guide will have been fullyrewarded.ConversationGuide nishPortegeseRussianRussian PhoneticallyJapanese
