> A very interesting experience. I wanted to work SAC from "the other side" to
> obtain better understanding, and perhaps some suggestions to make it more
> interesting for non-Scandinavians. The dream came true in Luxembourg, with a
> suitable distance to Scandinavia, a great station, etc.

> The QSOs are pretty evenly distributed between the bands. I was
> delighted about
> 10m also being open, although the QSO count didn't become quite as   
> high there.
> Many probably didn't check it often enough, and/or the openings were
> geographically too limited, and changes could be rapid at times. Anyway, many
> who came through did so with very good signal strengths. Saturday also showed
> interesting pipeline conditions to OH and eastern SM on 15/10 around 16z-17z,
> with S9+ signals.

> Operating SO2R is a definite advantage in SAC, because it allows you to move
> stations from one band to another (and perhaps a third) quickly just for the
> QSO credit. And that is a must to be really competitive in this contest, from
> both sides. Thanks to all who were willing to move.
