On the 12th December 2001. several active
radio amateur old timers, lovers of telegraphy, founded the Croatian Telegraphy Club - CTC.
Club welcomes membership applications from telegraphy lovers from all parts of
the world.
The only requirement for prospective members of CTC is that CW should be their
main or only mode of operation on the amateur bands.
If membership application is submitted by E-mail, then no fee is required and
membership is gratuitous.
In case that application is by post please include 8 USD or 5 euro cash in
envelope by airmail, which is a contribution towards postage including the
package of Club’s Certificate of membership .
It is the Club's principle of supporting CW and that is far more important than
any financial consideration.
