The NAQP Challenge was an annual competition
between three of America’s premier ham radio contesting
clubs: the Northern California Contest Club, the Potomac
Valley Radio Club, and the Society of Midwest Contesters.
Logs for individual club members who submitted a log for
any or all of the six North American QSO Parties
sponsored each year by the National Contest Journal were
automatically included in the NAQP Challenge scoring for
their club. Scoring for the Challenge rewarded both high
participation and high personal scores, which meant that
both big guns and little pistols could contribute to the
success of their club.
The Challenge ended with the 2021 calendar year.
