VHF - UHF - SHF Activity Contests in Europe

All the individual country-contests in fact take place as one single event accross Europe, as they are held same time, same day on similar rules. This is especially welcome on VHF bands as the everyday activity in some European regions is very low except for rare DX openings. These Activity Contests allow VHF enthusiasts in every corner of Europe to make few QSOs, and provide unique year-long contest for those contest-minded.

1. The Nordic Activity Contest (NAC) started back in the fifties (1954?) It started locally in Skåne on 144 MHz and has developed ever since. (The rules are not static)

The NAC Open Class was started in 1989 to encourage activity outside the traditional Nordic countries, and organized by the EDR (Danish Ham Radio Organization) ever since. - Thanks Ivan OZ7IS for this information.

To apply in NAC, non Scandinavian participants need QSOs with at least 2 Scandinavian WWLs. NAC rules

2. LYAC (LY) since 1999. To apply, non Lithuanian participants need at least 1 QSO with LY station.

3. UKAC (G) since 2001? Is held on the same dates, lasts two and a half hours though. UKAC rules

4. IAC (Italy) since 2004. Web page

5. SPAC (Poland) since 2005. To apply, non Polish participants need at least 1 QSO with SP station.SPAC rules PDF, SPAC results.

6. RUAC (Russia) since 2006. To apply, non Russian participants need at least 1 QSO with RA/RU/RK... station. There are other slight differences in rules : digital modes added; yearly results are made off 6 best monthly scores. RUAC rules
