Great!

With these two activities combined, we have a chance to really make some
nice progress in the development of SAC.

Excellent work from you and your SAC Team!

> >> Last year's SAC entailed many general developments,
> >> including open logs and log checking reports, and
> >> new categories to make the contest more attractive
> >> to non-Scandinavians. Still, there are always things
> >> to develop further. For example, the important
> >> Scandinavian Cup has practically always been a
> >> simple (although very tough!) OH-SM affair, and the
> >> spectator aspects of the contest have been lacking.
> >>
> >> This year SAC is teaming up with the popular online
> >> scoring site cqcontest.ru to dramatically improve the
> >> real-time features of the contest. Scandinavian national
> >> teams of six stations from different categories will
> >> compete in a new "contest within a contest" for country
> >> and glory. The teams, chosen by each national league,
> >> will use real-time scoring and, in many cases, provide
> >> real-time audio and video from their efforts through
> >> the above-mentioned website to appease curious spectators.
> >>
> >> SAC will be the first annual ham radio contest to
> >> showcase the use of real-time technology in this
> >> spectator-directed manner. Coupled with the prestigious
> >> competition between national teams, it is hoped that
> >> a significant boost in media interest and excitement
> >> among the ham population will result. Simple briefs to
> >> help with outreach to journalistic outlets will be
> >> provided in English for use by the national leagues,
> >> contest clubs, and local hams.
