EuCW Chairman
EuCW Bulletin No 2025/01
========================
1) A Happy New CW Year 2025 to all of you. A second time in a row
unfortunately a somewhat delayed bulletin from my side. Your Chairman is
now stationed in the city of Quozhou, in the Zhejiang province, 400 km south
of Shanghai. I have tested my remote connection to SM6LRR in Sweden, but
unfortunately bad news. The ping times are close to 300 ms and the maximum
should be around 200 ms. This will mean that my CW activity in the next
year or two, most likely will be quite low. Anyway, I have applied for (and
received) a Chinese Amateur Radio Guest License. This does not mean I can
operate my own station, but I will be able to operate from Chinese club
stations. We will see if I manage to get time to visit any stations in the
year to come. My work schedule is very busy and this newsletter is being
composed from TA (Turkey) after visiting EP (Iran). Next countries planned
are CE, CP and YB.
2. The Marconi Club ARI Loano organized "Qso Party Day" / 7th edition,
always with formula of “Short Contest” This year, the event date was January
4th 2025 from 07:00 utc to 21:00 utc on CW 20-40-80 mt . The aims is to
make our Club known to the new generations of CW operators, and bring
together all those who truly love and believe in telegraphy. During the
event will be involved all members of the historic Club, which today counts
almost 1000 Members from more than 60 countries divided in two categories.,
Members and Independent non-members. The log will be accepted only in
Cabrillo format and should be uploaded on the website of Marconi Club.
Rules, results and online awards could be downloaded after the contest at
https://www.marconiclub.it Thanks to Tony IK1QBT
3) The Hungarian CW Group HACWG was founded in 1985 with 10 founding
members. Now there are more than 250 members. They celebrate their 40th
birthday this year. On this occasion they plan to activate the HG40CW
callsign probably for a month. Details will be worked out later. When it
starts you will find HG40CW on the clusters. Thanks Lacy HA3NU
4) The GQRP Club was busy during the festive season with the Winter Sports,
an on-air get-togehter event focused on friendly and conversational QSOs
that happens between Boxing Day and New Year's Day, both included. The
event saw the partecipation of many club memebrs from the UK and from
abroad. The Club will have another major activity around Easter, and then
will get ready for International QRP Days on the 17th of June, followed by
the Summer Sizzler. Check the Club website for more information:

We have agreed with the German Amateur Radio Club to hold the activity week
on the intangible cultural heritage of Morse telegraphy in the week of the
"International Day of Intangible Cultural Heritage", which is October 17th.
This year it is from October 13th to October 17th. Thanks Martin DL1GBZ
5) In December NTC has organised the last QSO party of the year with a total
of about 50 participants. This was one of the themed QSO parties
celebrating the name day of Saint Nicholas, PF6SINT being one of the bonus
station. Carel PA0CMU has won the 2024 series in the electronic keying
section and Lothar DL1DXL in the mechanical keying section. In 2025 we will
have our log checker in place so people can upload their logs to the website
at https://www.pi4ntc.nl. You are all invited to celebrate the fourth
anniversary of the Netherlands Telegraphy Club on January 31, rules are at
https://pi4ntc.nl/ntcap. The first 3 NTC QSO parties of 2025 will take
place on January 16, February 20 and March 20 (every third Thursday of the
month). Thanks Joop PG4I
6) The Very High Speed Club has a new secretary/treasurer: Jo PG4I. He was
installed as a member of the VHSC board on August 15, 2024. After our
previous secretary PA0DIN became silent key all member certificates were
lost. We are now in the process of printing new ones. New members can
choose to receive a digital version at no cost or a printed, signed version
for a small fee covering our postage costs. Rules for joining the VHSC can
be found at https://www.morsecode.nl/vhsc%20club.html. In 2024 we have
welcomed 5 new members: DF7TV, DL5DXS, EA6EJ, EA6BF and EA4BB. They have
all shown to be capable of sending and receiving Morse code at 40 words per
minute by making 4 QSOs with a length of 30 minutes with their VHSC
sponsors.
At our request the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (www.rdi.nl)
assigned our association the callsign PI4VHC. At the QRZ.com page of PI4VHC
you can find a short history of our club.
