[Boatanchors] Winter 2024 CW Classic Exchange

I have a question on the sequence and want to make sure I understand it 
properly.

On 40m CW tonight, I will have available 3 tube transmitters, 3 tube 
receivers and a 1982 solid state Yaesu FT107m.  Once they are all tuned 
up and set on the same frequency (quite a task...), then I can switch 
between any combination with a single rotary switch.

If I'm understanding the rules correctly, then I have a possible 9 pairs 
of tube RX/TX (ignoring the FT107m for now).  Which means I could work a 
given individual caller 9 sequential times, with different gear each 
time, giving each of us 9 QSOs.

Is that correct?

Thanks for the guidance!

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.
