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 a recommendation to you for VHSC-Membership.
Do NOT fish for a recommendation at the beginning of a QSO.
Just show your capability of solid copy and excellent keying at a speed
of at least 40 wpm. After about 30 minutes you may show your
interest for VHSC-Membership and ask for a recommendation
for VHSC-Membership.
A recommendation may be given after having 2-way-CW contacts
- 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 a maximum of 3 years.
When you have recommendations of 4 different VHSC-members in
your possession, send these with your application for VHSC-Membership
to the VHSC-Secretary, PG4I.
Please see Joop’s QRZ.COM page for more information. Applications for VHSC membership and/or other correspondence can be sent to Joop via e-mail.
The call of a VHSC-Candidate will be published in our VHSC-Bulletin; this is
our News-sheet, which is sent to all VHSC-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 4 test-QSO's.
