CQ-NR Trophy
The Scarborough Amateur Radio Club created the CQ-NR Trophy in 1966. It was presented to the winner of the annual competition for Scarborough members operating in the combined A.R.R.L. Novice Roundup and S.A.R.C. CW contest. The trophy was donated to the club by Ed Charlton, VE3FCE, and Jim Ashfield, VE3FOE. Bill Cate, VE3HR, was the driving force behind the award's creation. He wanted to encourage the use of CW, so he created a CW contest for SARC that would co-exist with ARRL's Novice Roundup contest.
Here the trophy is being presented to its first winner, Gunther Achleitner,
VE3FTF. From left to right are: Bill Cate VE3HR, Cliff Smythe VE3EZC, Jim

Here is the trophy in its current form. The SARC contest was terminated
at the same time as the ARRL Novice Roundup contest. It was presented to
Bill Cate for his dedication to the encouragement of CW in SARC through
his promotion and administration of the contest.
