[Boatanchors] Winter 2019 Classic Exchange CW

[Ron VE8RT]

Hi all,

  I won't make it for this activity as I haven't ordered XTALs yet for
my repaired Globe Chief 90A, but for future events I have a question on
dating the age of the radio.  As I have no idea of the actual age of
the rig for the CX multiplier, it was a commercial transmitter and not
based on a magazine article, would it be acceptable to use the date of
publication of the manual to determine it's age?  Being new here maybe
someone has asked this before.
