[CCF] [TOEC] NO POLITICS IN HAM RADIO! Re: Scandinavian Activity Contest 2025

[Mats Strandberg]

Every knows that Sam has very valid points in his statements.

But political marionettes in SAC CC and NRAU have a PERSONAL responsibility
in destroying SAC.

Just ignore this political show until NEW Ham Spirit members replace the
current political clowns.

Shame on the current Political management of SAC!

There is only one way to express discontent: Boycott SAC until new
non-political SAC CC committee members replace the current ones...
