Classic Exchange - Did it happen?

Larry - I listened mostly to the suggested AM frequencies on 75, 40, 20 and 10 meters, along with a little SSB.  I wrongly assumed that it would be primarily AM because that's the main mode I associate with classic equipment.  I do enjoy CW from time to time with the ricebox, but have not yet tried a CW contact with my classic rig (Heathkit Apache).

The Antique Wireless Association's AM QSO Party on Feb 26 & 27 sounds good.  Think I'll give that a try.

Don - Yes the Classic Exchange was this weekend...actually Sunday to be exact. 
You did not mention which specific frequencies you were listening to.  There
was a lot of activity on CW; especially 40.

Normally the Classic Exchange is mainly a CW event.  Though there are some of
us who like vintage AM and SSB, the amount of activity on these modes is just
not as evident as there is on CW in the Classic Exchange.  I wish it were
otherwise and not sure exactly how to get more activity on SSB and AM.  Don't
give up...there is quite a bit of CX actity in the Norteast as well as other
parts of the country.
