SAC 2024 – YOU ARE INVITED!

Featured

The contest committee is pleased to invite you to the 65:th Scandinavian Activity contest. It all started in 1959 during the famous solar cycle 19.

The rules are unchanged from 2023, but don’t forget to read them! Several participants miss the frequency limits, so please check them.

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 2024! Jari OH6BG have prepared the predictions for you. Just enter you QTH and give it a try!

We are happy to announce that the contest committee now have two new members Timo OH1NOA and Frode LA6VQ. Welcome!

73 & CU!

SAC CW is over!

Thanks to all who entered the ionospheric waves and participated in another SAC “Polar Battle”. Propagation was challenging on higher bands, but many could squeeze in a handful QSO’s on both 15 and 10 meters. Well done!

Please remember that the log deadline is now on Friday 23.59 UTC.
Submit your log to the Robot: https://www.sactest.net/robot/

SAC SSB is 9-10 October! We are looking forward to hear your voices!
