The 2023 Scandinavian Activity Contest was held from 1200 UTC Saturday 14th October to 1159 UTC on Sunday 15th October.
I spent Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon on grandpa duties, but I did manage some time in the contest late on Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening.
The contest aims to promote amateur radio activity in Scandinavia and encourage amateur radio communications between Scandinavian and non-Scandinavian amateur radio stations.

I ended up with 83 QSOs and a claimed score of 3,735 points. The claimed results on the website show that I am leading my category at this stage – Single Operator All Band Low Power.
Most of my contacts (46) were on the long path on the 20m band, followed by 19 QSOs on the 15m band, and 18 QSOs on the 10m band.
Thanks to everyone who called and thank you to the contest organisers.
