Please welcome to SAC CW 21-22 September! Each part of this “Polar Battle” gathers 1000+ contesters from all around the world. As the Nordic hams enter their radio huts en masse, SAC offers non-scandinavians a unique opportunity to work the propagationally challenged Arctic nations and practice your skills.

60 years and still going strong

Our beloved SAC is 60 years old, and for this anniversary we offer special diplomas:

• Bronze – to those whose first SAC was 1980-1989
• Silver – to those whose first SAC was 1970-1979
• Gold – to those whose first SAC was 1960-1969
• Platina –  to those who were in the first SAC 1959

To get this you only need to report your first SAC-year when uploading your log.
