The Radio Telegraphy Very High Speed Club VHSC was founded on May
1st 1961 under protection of VERON and DARC and has the intention
to gather radioamateurs who are able to transmit and to copy very
high speed telegraphy, and doing so, to encourage CW-Traffic in
general and QRQ-Traffic in particular. The VHSC Committee
consists of:

  PA0LOU  :   Chairman
  PA0DIN  :   Secretary/Treasurer
  DK5JI   :   Member (President of HSC)

How to join the VHSC

Be active on the bands, using telegraphy speed of 40 wpm or
higher, and show your ability to read and key this speed
perfectly. VHSC-Members may give you a recommendation for the
VHSC-Membership. Do not ask for a recommendation, do not chase
for it! Just show your capability of solid copy and excellent
keying at a speed of at least 40 wpm!   A recommendation can be
made after having 2-way-CW contact -- with a VHSC-Member -- for
at least 30 minutes using telegraphy speed of 200 letters per
minute or higher. (PARIS-base, 40 wpm). Solid copy should be made
by the applicant together with excellent keying. No keyboards or
decoders are allowed during these contacts. A recommendation is
valid for maximum 3 years.

After having 4 recommendations in your possession, send then with
your application for VHSC-Membership and 10 IRC, or equivalent (
DFl. 16,-- at present), to the VHSC-Secretary.   The call of a
VHSC-candidate will be published in our VHSC-bulletin, this is a
newssheet which is sent to all members. If there are no objections
raised by VHSC members within 3 months the VHSC-candidate
can be registrated as a VHSC-member.

All recommendations must show the duration of the VHSC-test-QSO
and must mention the CW-speed used during that VHSC-test-QSO. All
applications should contain statement, that the applicant did not
use keyboard or decoder during the four (4) test-QSO's. A
certificate of membership is sent to members.

There is no further payment for life membership. Applications
should be addressed to the president of the VHSC:
