[TOEC] Re: SAC uppe på NRAU-mötet i augusti

[Sigge SM5KUX]

Hej,

Följande är ett utdrag ur protokollet (den del som berör SAC):

1. Common Text for the SAC and NRAU-Baltic Contests Rules (NRRL).
One official set of rules approved by all societies needs to be reliably
available to all. How this is best implemented was a matter of discussion.
The correct official version at the time of the meeting was believed to be
available on SM3CER's web-site. The following changes were discussed at the
meeting:
· It was agreed to add LN and remove the 5P from the Scandinavian prefixes.
Also to include a sentence stating, that any (other) legal Scandinavian
prefixes are good for the contest and multiplier, as well as all other legal
prefixes according to the ITU definition of Scandinavian prefixes.
· NRRL proposed that the number of prefixes for Iceland in the NRAU-Baltic
contest be increased from the present number of ONE, to TEN district 2
letter groups. IRA agreed to inform within 2 week how they want the
districts defined and give the letters to Sweden, c/o SM7NDX.
· It was proposed that the Baltic countries be added as organisers for the
NRAU-Baltic contest, making it a rotation of 7 organising societies instead
of 4.The idea was well received, and it was agreed to hand this over to the
contest managers to decide, and if so SRAL will contact the Baltic
countries.
· SRAL Contest Manager proposes one weekend for the SAC instead of two,
since the 4th weekend of September collides with CQ WW RTTY Contest.
Possible solutions are to move the second part of the contest or make it a
mixed mode contest. It was agreed that NRAU ask the contest managers to
discuss possible solutions and make a proposal before December 31'st 2002.
SRAL will propose new rules for SAC-contest committee (contest managers).
·  Jari, OH2BU will integrate and co-ordinate from the above points, and add
to the existing correct version of the rules and make out a new official
confirmed version of the rules for the SAC and NRAU-Baltic contests as
decided at the Borgarnes meeting, stating so at the end. Appendix 3 is the
result of this co-ordination.

2. Procedure for making changes to the SAC and NRAU-Baltic Contests Rules
(NRRL).
The procedure adopted at the 1999 NRAU meeting in Hurdal for how to change
the contest rules needs to be adhered to. It was agreed there that for
changes to be made to any NRAU contest, all societies must agree on the
change beforehand, and a signed answer with approval must be received from
all societies. It is then up to each society, who within their society,
shall make the decision, the contest manager or the Board. Never must a lack
of answer be understood as confirmation of changes.
It is now added, that changes made this way are only valid until the next
NRAU meeting. A confirmation by this meeting is required in order to make
the changes permanent. It is up to the contest manager/society who initiated
the changes to suggest the correct and exact English wording and to ensure
that the ratification of the change is brought up at the next NRAU meeting.
3. IRA and FRA Adoption of Rule Changes
When the change was adopted last year, only SRAL, EDR, SSA and NRRL were
asked. IRA and FRA now confirmed that they do not require to take part in
this procedure.
4. Cabrillo log-input format
Unavailability of the Cabrillo software specified last year has caused some
concern. SSA asserts that the software will be made available, and if SSA
fails to do so before 1st of November, SRAL will provide the software.
