COULD YOU RECOGNIZE THE POLAR BATTLE WHERE THE ICE BEARS DANCE AND GO
AGAINST EACH OTHER?
It is the Scandinavian Activity Contest (SAC)
happening in the Far North.
CW: September 16-17 1200- 1159 UTC SSB: October 14-15, 1200 -
1159 UTC
The battle is organized as a QSO party but it is actually a lot more than
that. Your friends from LA, OH, OZ, SM and TF are all at arms and fighting
for their country's standing but also for proving their own radio skills.
It is not only a fight on the radio spectrum alone but also a fight against
mother nature: lady Aurora (Northern Lights) is sometimes hanging above the
region. Northern Lights look beautiful and mysterious but they make our
beloved radio spectrum sound like one big hiss of white RF noise.

We predict that the 2023 SAC contest will be different, as we were absent
in 2022. We are back with a SAC that has polished rules and log checking
procedures that are now similar with the best contests, such as CQWW. We
sincerely thank Ken, K1EA for assisting us in making SAC log checking
better than ever.
But we need Your participation! Come along and join into the Northern
brothers' fun! It will be a contest to remember! Along with the EU
participation in full force we predict that a lot of DX will be present in
the contest. So just jump into it and have fun and be active during your
propagation window to the Far North.
Remember that the Arctic Circle is crossing all these Northern countries:
LA, OH, SM and TF. These lands are on same latitude as Anchorage, Alaska
and they all struggle constantly with the ice and snow. They are looking
forward in working You during the two big SAC weekends (CW and SSB)!
