SAC 2025 – The Polar Battle

The contest committee is pleased to invite you to the 66:th Scandinavian Activity Contest.
We have made some minor changes in the rules compared to last year:
The CLASSIC Overlay has been clarified that only one (1) radio is allowed, this was the original intention of this overlay.
We encourage all participants to use Online Score Reporting like https://contestonlinescore.com/ or https://contest.run/
The SAC Category Explorer is abandoned, since there was very few participants.
Don’t forget to announce your own activity. Doing so will inspire others to join and make their own challenges. Those who have already signed up can be seen at Announced operations CW and SSB. If you need to change your entry, just email us at support@sactest.net.
Thanks to the generous contributions of many individuals, there are several Sponsored Plaques available for both Scandinavian and non-Scandinavian operators to pursue. Please take a look at the last years sponsored plaque program and pick your target.
Make your own VOACAP predictions for SAC 2025! Jari OH6BG have prepared the predictions for you. Just enter your QTH and give it a try!
