The Radio Telegraphy Super High Speed Club was founded on the
20th of march 1982 in association with the HSC and VHSC and was
created for every amateur who enjoys high speed telegraphy to
provide a stimulating challenge to achieve their highest
operating speeds.Active members strive for an optimum discipline
in radio telegraphy traffic and also encourage and help other
amateurs to use high speed telegraphy to increase their speed.

The club consists of honorary members, active members and
shortwave listeners who have all the same rights. The club is
open to membership from all countries and language groups.


How to join the SHSC

be obtained from other active members. An active member may give a
recommendation after a "sponsor QSO" under the following
conditions:A recommendation can be made after having a 2-way CW
contact with a SHSC member for at least 30 minutes using a
telegraphy speed of 250 letters per minute or higher (Paris-base,
50 WPM). Solid copy must be made by the applicant together with
excellent keying. Computers, keyboards or decoders are NOT
allowed during these contacts. Reception must be done by ear and
only a basic electronic keyer may be used to assist with sending.

is no further payment for life membership. Applications should be
