Classic Exchange - Did it happen?

[Schichler, Don]

I thought this contest sounded like fun, and was looking forward to participating in it with my classic AM equipment.  I listened for a long time on all the suggested AM frequencies yesterday in the afternoon and evening, and never heard a thing referring to the "Classic Exchange".  Kind of dissapointing.  Evidently there isn't much interest in this sort of thing, at least not in the northeast part of the country.

Classic Exchange "CX"
The CX is a no-pressure contest celebrating the older commercial and 
homebrew 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. However, 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. You can still work the "great ones" with modern equipment.
