I'm planning on running my Collins 75A1 (1949) and Gonset GSB-100 (1960) in
the CX contest. I think it will be a lot of fun.

> SCORING
> Multiply total number of QSO's (all bands and all modes)by the sum of
> the different types of receivers and tansmitters you worked (tranceivers
> count both as a transmitter and a receiver) plus the number
> states/provinces/countries worked on each band and each mode. Multiply
> that product by your CX multiplier which is the total years old of all
> receivers and transmitters used. Each receiver or transmitter must be
> used in a minimum of three QSO's to be counted in the multiplier.
> If the equipment is homebrew, count it as a minimum of 25 years old
> unless actual construction date or date of its construction article (in
> the case of a 'reproduction")
> is older.
