> 
> The Winter/Spring 2025 Classic Exchange CW is set for Sunday Mar 30 1300Z to Mar 31 0700Z and Tuesday Apr 1 1300Z to Apr 2 0700Z.
> 
> 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.
> 
> There are two (2) entry categories per mode:
> ►Three or fewer receiver-transmitter pairs
> ►Four or more receiver-transmitter pairs.
> 
> There will be CX recognition for high scores in Phone and CW as well as overall.

> Bonus Points: Homebrew radios! The age is when the design was published. If a non-published design, then the actual age built. 500 points per radio; max bonus points is 1500. Transceivers score as separate receivers and transmitters of equal age; in other words, age times 2. To qualify to be counted in the CX Multiplier, each piece of equipment must be used in a minimum of 3 complete QSOs for the claimed mode.
