[OKDXA] Fall 2021 Classic Exchange CW portion

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

The CW portion of the Classic Exchange will take place
Sunday Oct 24 1400Z to Oct 25 0800Z and Tuesday
Oct 26 1400Z to Oct 27 0800



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.



Bonus points:  Transceivers it is! 1000 points for each

transceiver!  Radios that are a “Transmitter / Receiver”,

such as the Heathkit HW-16, qualify as a transceiver.

Bonus points are for radios that you qualify with at

least 3 QSOs.
