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 exellent 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 different recommendations in your possession, send then with your
application for VHSC-Membership and 10 IRC, or equivalent ( € 9,20 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.
