<p class="MsoNormal">The phone portion of the Classic Exchange will take place Sunday Jan 23 1400Z to Monday Jan 24 0800Z and Tuesday Jan 25 1400Z to Wednesday Jan 26 0800Z (For those wondering, yes the phone portion comes before the CW portion this trip.)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bonus points: Ameco, Gonset, Lettine, Harvey Wells, Geloso, Utah, and Lysco radios! 500 points for each transmitter or receiver, 1000 points for each transceiver. Bonus points are for radios that you qualify with at least 3 QSOs.<o:p></o:p></p>
