[Boatanchors] FYI THIS WEEKEND

[Bry Carling]

this sounds like a great opportunity to show off some of our novice equipment and Boatanchor rigs on the air:

Winter 2019 Classic Exchange CW
The CW Classic Exchange will take place Sunday Jan 13 1300Z to Jan 14 0700Z<x-apple-data-detectors://3> and Tuesday Jan 15 1300Z to Jan 16 0700Z<x-apple-data-detectors://4>

The CX is a no-pressure contest celebrating the older commercial and Home Brew equipment that was
the pride and joy of ham shacks many decades ago. The object is to encourage restoration, operation
and enjoyment of this older Classic equipment.

You need not operate a Classic rig to participate in the CX. You may use any rig in the contest
although new gear is a distinct scoring disadvantage as your multipliers are directly related to the age
of the equipment you use! However, you can still work the "great ones" with modern equipment.
