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. There are two (2) entry categories per mode: ?Three or fewer receiver-transmitter pairs ?Four or more receiver-transmitter pairs. There is no bonus for this season?s CX. This year, the CW event was timed to coincide with the Novice Rig Roundup, so there should be lots of activity both days. We can give each other points in both events. Suggested CW frequencies in Mhz +/- QRM: 160M 1.810 80M 3.545 40M 7.045 and 7.100 ? 7.125 20M 14.045 15M 21.045 10M 28.045 6M 50.095 2M 144.100 Listen up and down for stations using crystal control.
