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.

Our Club stations DL0HSC and DK0HSC transmit "HSC bulletins" every first saturday of
each month at 1500 UTC on 7.025 MHz in English and at 21.00 UTC (during summertime
at 20.00 UTC) on about 3.555 MHz in the German language. 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
