Constitution: You need a bloody good one and a strong helping of fortitude to be in NOC.
No clauses are required because they are ignored by Committees when it suits them.
Officials will be appointed, not elected.

To be a member you need to be:
Experienced, be accurate on CW (and in all you do), have heaps of common sense and technical interest.
We don't need Membership Codes of Conduct. We don't need DX Codes of Conduct.
If you don't know what to do and don't have experience and/or knowledge, then don't do it! Learn about it.

Getting outside help during a contest is cheating! Operating a remote station is cheating!

Extreme modern forms of PC (political correctness) are frowned upon as a reduction of freedom and a form of censorship. Get a sense of humour! Don't work anybody with a membership number of 1 in any other club, they are trying to be an imposter or at least equal to you.
We stick strongly to the use of English phrases and spellings. We nit-pick the correct use of SI unit abbreviations!

Last year we joined a Yahoo Group for procrastinators. We haven't met anybody yet.

Special award for working EA0JC: Juan Carlos I and the new Morsi (SK) award (you get to use/put a spare dit that you bought!).
If we had mechanical key nights, they'd be sponsored by

, but we don't, so they're not. We operate CW, but we're not sponsored by

... but then again ..........

You can always be up Number One Creek without a paddle

Two Mexican detectives were investigating the murder of Juan Gonzalez.
‘How was he killed?’ asked one detective.
‘With a golf gun,’ the other detective replied.
‘A golf gun! What is a golf gun?’
‘I don’t know. But it sure made a hole in Juan.’

"On CW, nobody can hear you scream" You can if you use this!
