[TOEC] SAC as is, or?

[Per Eklund]

The main reason to move SAC SSB im my mind is the big interest collision (both scandinavian and DX)
with the biggest RTTY contest in the year, CQ WW.
The rules does not matter in my mind, but the colliding thing does.
Contest is contest, never mind the mode.
Its no good thing to arrange a local skiing competition
in the beginning of March when all skiers are in Dalarna, or selling
hotdogs downtown between 16-18 24.12."   ;-)
