Congratulations on the success of SAC / CW.
This coming weekend, the BRAZIL will be present again, with several stations.
Hopefully next year we have also a greater participation of seasons OH / MW /
OZ / LA.
Help spread in his country, the CQMM DX CONTEST ( www.cwjf.com.br ).
Our competition began in 1993, initially in Brazil and your growth and has been
expanding, to become world in 2011.
We can even think of a partnership between our groups if you are interested.
We are the largest group of CW South America, with over 250 members spread
throughout 38 countries.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Record Number of SAC CW Logs -- Now Grab YourMicrophones!
Dear all,
This year's Scandinavian Activity Contest on CW was a great success, despite
the poor propagation. Up to the deadline, over 1180 logs were submitted.
This breaks the previous record number of 1115 from last year, marking a
continued growing trend for the contest that bodes well for the future. We
thank you all for participation and for your good efforts.
Before SAC SSB, we would like to call your attention to Section 5 of the rules,
which states in part: "On 3.5 MHz, Region 1 stations must not transmit below
3510 kHz on CW or above 3790 kHz on SSB." (see http://www.sactest.net)
Frequency clauses have existed in the SAC rules in various forms for many
years. However, they have not been enforced by previous organizers, creating an
ambiguous "dead letter" situation.
The SAC Contest Committee wishes to announce that the rule will be enforced
from here on similarly to any other rules. Because of the expectations created
by the historical situation, the CW logs are not yet explicitly penalized.
However, together with the results we will publish a warning list, based on
Reverse Beacon Network data, of those CW entrants who with certainty have
solicited QSOs in the forbidden band on 80m. SSB logs with such QSOs will be
penalized.
Barring software issues, we hope to provide the final results of SAC CW later
this week. For now, we note the excited preparations across the Arctic and the
rest of the world to get on the air for SAC SSB this weekend. Again, the Nordic
people will be there in force. Dust off your microphones, lubricate your vocal
chords or voice keyers, and get ready to enjoy the upcoming second part of the
Polar Battle!
