The Preliminary Scores from SAC CW and SSB 2023 are now ready.
UPDATE 2023-12-01: CW results updated. We corrected for a bad log that gave erroneous results for several Scandinavians.
Please check your Category, Score and LCR .Tell us if anything looks wrong or if you have questions. Send an email to: support@sactest.net. We will finalize the score in the beginning of December.
Click on your call in the listings, to see the log checking report (LCR). The log checking process is producing reports similar to what you get from CQ WW and CQ WPX.
We are happy to see that most of the plaques already are sponsored by several generous sponsors. But there are still have some vacant sponsorhip available. Please take a look in the list and consider if you want to be a sponsor. If you have an own idea of a new type of plaque, please let us know.
Contact support@sactest.net if you want to take part in the SAC Sponsored Plaque Program.
SAC features a sponsored plaque program to increase interest and participation in the contest. The plaque winners and sponsors are published on the SAC website and in the annual “SAC Results and Stories” PDF booklet.
Based on the unanimous decision by the Nordic Radio Amateur Union (NRAU) it is decided that the stations from Russia and Belarus are not eligible for participation in the 2023 Scandinavian Activity Contest (SAC).
We are introducing a new way of participating in the Explorer category where you are allowed to experiment with new ideas and technology that is not covered by the regular rules. We hope this will inspire innovations not seen before.
The OVERLAYS are now for all participants, regardless of whether you are in Scandinavia or not. We have also added CLASSIC as an overlay for those who want to participate without using assistance (Skimmer, DXCluster etc).
Henning OZ2I has decided to leave the SAC CC and the current committee consists of two members OH2BH and SM5AJV. We are hoping that new representatives from OZ and LA will join us soon.
After cancelling year 2022 SAC we now come back in 2023 with two fresh contest weekends and YOU are invited to participate. Right now we are preparing the new ideas that will come with the 2023 SAC tests and we look forward to announce the news on this page during the springtime.
Let us say loud and clearly; No one is more sad of this situation than us, the SAC CC members, who only want to make a good Contest experience.
SAC CC consists of four members from four different Nordic countries and the individual countries’ organizations have different ideas about how to handle the ongoing war in Ukraine in the context of amateur radio contesting often referred as radiosport.
Each of us had to follow the statements of our respective organizations and we had no other solution than to cancel 2022 Contests.
The SAC Contest Committee has unanimously decided to cancel this year’s two sections of the Contest. Our decision has been made due to the ongoing war in the region and in consideration of the IARU declaration about friendship between people. We hope that the situation will change for the better, so that we can once again compete against each other as the SAC rules dictate.
From the IARU web page (https://www.iaru.org/2022/statement-from-iaru/) “IARU is an apolitical organization focused on promoting and defending amateur radio and the amateur radio services. The amateur radio service is about self-instruction in communications and friendship between people.”
