The HSC (1951) is happy to announce the issuance of the new club call DFØHSC to HSC by the German Telecommunications authorities (BNetzA). DFØHSC signes HSC 2000. We are now in posession of four technically possible club call signs ending in "ØHSC" (DAØHSC, DLØHSC, DKØHSC, and DFØHSC). Responsible operator for DFØHSC is Fabian, DJ1YFK (1754).
We regret the passing of HSC 1594, TA3GF (ex TA2BU), OM Hus, who became a silent key in January 2019..
OM Mome, Z32ZM (1274) currently operates as Z68MA from the Kosovo.With sorrow we have learned about the passing of HSC 555, DL3KVC.

Next year the HSC Contest will take place Feburary 23rd and November 1st, 2020. There will be only one contest period, i.e. 15 to 18 UTC. With this measure we want to overcome the QRM and overlap with other contests in the morning session.
End of 2020 we will review the situation based on our experiences. You might have to adjust your loggers for this. The Contest Evaluator should be able to do the correct evaluation. Deadline for submitting logs will be 2 weeks after the contest!
We have added a special feature for our monthly
Activity Day: The Handshake-QSO.
See the Activity Day section for additional information. The
first event starts on November 15th, 2019.The HSC has to announce the passing of OM Dietrich, DL9CW (758), who died last weekend at the age of 69.
Again this year HSC, along with the AGCW, took the opportunity to promote the case of telegraphy at the HAMRADIO convention in Southern Germany. Special thanks go to the chair of AGCW for paying all pertinent fees and Karlheinz, DK8KK, who had taken it upon himself to organize the booth and act as the AGCW point of contact towards the Hamradio management.
Turned out it has been well worth the effort: the AGCW/HSC appeared to be a central meeting point of many keen CW friends both from Germany and abroad. Throughout the convention, you could see small groups of amateurs intensely engaged in discussing topical subjects. In front of the LCD screen you could often see clusters of people eagerly following the lines of text which were being decoded simultaneously as DAØHSC was being operated remotely through the Maestro flexradio 6800 interface.Many hamradio operators took it turns to man the operating station, thus helping out the main operators, Frank, DL2CC, Karl, DJ5IL and Tof, DJ6ZM. 700 watts and a 4-element yagi tribander, located near the city of Ulm were putting out a strong signal easy to be picked up in EU and DX. Norbert's, DJ3TU's, collection of keys triggered many expert talks about pros and cons of vibroplex bugs, straight keys and sideswipers.
Above all, it was most enjoyable to be able to talk to well-known CW operators from all over the world in person, such as OZ1LO, LB2TB, OZ1JHM, F6GWL, PAØINA, I8QFK, OZ8X, 5B4AGN, G3AB, just to mention a few. Well-known DXers such as DJ6SI and DK9PY were available for questions. It goes without saying that the HSC "stalwarts" were again available to represent HSC and answer questions surrounding aspects of CW and especially QRQ. These included DL6LBI, DL8LBK, DJ3TU, HB9BJL, DJ5IL, DJ6ZM, DL2CC, DL7NJ, DK4LX among others. All in all, HSC can be quite satisfied with another successful promotional activity.
The HSC mournes the passing of OM Fritz, DK7MC (833) who became a silent key April 2019.

Notice: Due to massive spam we do not accept e-mails from the
domain *.com. Such e-mails will be silently discarded. This applies only to our HSC email address shown at the

the person you would like to get in touch with. In most cases, the HSC secretary would be the appropriate person.
To clarify proper procedures and avoid misunderstandings, I'd like to point out that all statements of sponsorship have to go to the potential candidate for HSC. They can be in the form of a QSL or an email and must contain all relevant and required details of QSO the sponsorship is based on. I do not need any advanced / heads up information. All I am interested in is a complete application package on the part of the prospective HSC member.
Complete means: five fully backed up sponsor documents, award fee as a bill, filled in and signed application form (can be downloaded from the website). A CC copy of any email sponsorship to me is o.k. but not required. It would be nice to have an automated system like LotW to handle everything through mouse clicks, however, as of yet, I'm afraid, we have go with the traditional, time-tested procedures.Jump to the News 2018
