Welcome to SAC CW 2019

Posted on by

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.

Rules

Please read the rules carefully https://www.sactest.net/blog/rules/ .

Frequency limits:
​CW : 3510-3560, 7000-7040, 14000-14060, 21000-21070, 28000-28070 kHz
QSO’s outside the frequency limits will be scored zero points.

The “zero rule”:
If the station worked does not send a serial number, log the contact with number 000. QSO’s with zero in the received serial number field will not give QSO points nor multiplier points.

Plaque status for SAC 2018

Posted on by

We would like to inform you that the SAC 2018 regular plaques has not been sent out yet.

The delivery is delayed since we had to find a new producer of plaques. This is now solved and the plaques will be ready within a month or two. So please be patient, your plaque is not forgotten.

Update 2019-03-27

We just found out that one call was missing from the Scandinaivan SSB results. For some unknown reason was SM0O entry missing in the final score. His entry has now been added and subsequent rankings has been adjusted. The 2018 years booklet has also been updated.

We are happy to welcome Morten LB8DC (ex. LA9DFA) as a new member in the SAC Contest Committee.

After several years of not having a representative from Norway, Morten LB8DC is now entering the committee. Morten is working in the IT industry, so his computer skills together with being a seasoned contester and DX:er will be very valuable for the committee.
