A number of you have made comments about not knowing what the "Challenge Cups" were. It doesnt happen very often but sometimes the President will post out on the reflector various challenges. The first one being the 2009 ARRL 160 and we recently did one for the June VHF last year.

Different, sometimes "crazy" categories are posted for entrants. Most 160 QSOs with a non 160 antenna, most SMC members in the log highest rover.......you get the idea. The cups have not always been about the highest over all score. Usually just the highest score in a particular category and then a random cup for the category as reward for all those who took the time to play the game so to speak.
