"Voodoo Contest Group - The Saga Continues..." by Bud Semon N7CW
With the return of sunspots and great DX being heard on the higher frequencies, maybe you want to know what it's like to be DX? The VooDoo Contest Group is a bunch of hams that enjoy traveling to out of the way places around the world to participate in the CQ Magazine World Wide CW DX Contest. This talk will cover a bit of VooDoo history and the group's trip to Kuwait in 2014.

The radio amateur is:
CONSIDERATE... never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others.
LOYAL... offers loyalty, encouragement, and support to other amateurs, local clubs, and the American Radio Relay League, through which amateur radio in the United States is represented nationally and internationally.
PROGRESSIVE... with knowledge abreast of science, a well-built and efficient station and operation above reproach.
FRIENDLY... slow and patient operating when requested; offers friendly advice and counsel to the beginner; kind assistance, cooperation, and consideration for the interests of others. These are the hallmarks of the amateur spirit.
BALANCED... radio is an avocation, never interfering with duties owed to family, job, school, or community.
PATRIOTIC... station and skills are always ready for service to country and community.
--The original Radio Amateur's Code was written by Paul M. Segal, W9EEA, in 1928.
A good time was had by all at the annual VVARA Christmas Luncheon. We returned for the second year to Randall's Restaurant in Cottonwood for good food, good times and good friends.
