The Scandinavian Activity Contest (SAC) is a fantastic opportunity to connect with stations across Scandinavia and beyond. We aim to promote amateur radio activity within Scandinavia and foster communication between Scandinavian and non-Scandinavian stations. Essentially, everyone tries to work as many stations as possible, with a special focus on making contacts into or out of the Scandinavian region. Participants engage in making contacts and exchanging basic information with other amateur radio operators. This particular event focuses on CW operation and takes place on the third full weekend of September each year, running from Saturday at 12:00 UTC until Sunday at 11:59 UTC. We operate across a range of bands, including 10m, 15m, 20m, 40m, and 80m. For first-time participants, we recommend focusing on making consistent contacts and enjoying the experience; remember to always consult the official rules for precise category definitions, exchange details, and scoring.
