HSC Club official web page
The Radio Telegraphy High Speed Club HSC was founded in 1951 as a community within the "Deutscher Amateur Radio Club e.V." (DARC) of radio amateurs interested in high speed telegraphy. Today there are members in more than 70 countries (DXCC list) and all 6 continents.
The HSC is a member of the "European CW Association" (EUCW) and
cooperates with other telegraphy clubs.
During summer season our club stations DL0HSC and DK0HSC transmit "HSC bulletins" every first Saturday of each month at 0800 UTC on 7.036.6 Mhz in English and German. PLEASE NOTE that - during winter season - the times will change to 0900 UTC (English bulletin) and 0800 UTC (German "Rundspruch") respectively due to daylight savings time. That way you are informed
about new members,activities, and other news of common interest.
There are two HSC CW CONTEST's and an HSC MARATHON every year.To promote
activities, the HSC issues an award for working members:WORKED HIGH SPEED CLUB
(WHSC) This award is for SWL's too. You can find a list of members elsewhere on this site.
