[CQ-Contest] SAC CW 18-19th September

[Paolo, IK3QAR]

Hi Ron,
I'm not asking the SAC Committee to change the contest rules, just 
wondering if there was a "result page" following the survey launched by 
the SAC Committee in April (May was the deadline). That's all.

Besides that, I agree with Mats about SAC being slow for DX, specially 
if you like to RUN other than S&P'ing.

Let's see what the future will bring.
