I'm planning on getting in on that if I remember. I was playing with the monitor scope a little yesterday. I took the CRT out, and connected it to your monitorscope. At first I didn't see anything on it, but after fiddling with the knobs, I got a trace. It didn't seem as bright as yours, but maybe that's because it was sitting out in the open. At least I know the CRT works. I also have 300 volts and 600 volts where I'm supposed to, so at least that part of the power supply is good. I'll have to do some more investigating when I have time.

For those who don't, read on, and then see ya Sunday! Howie WB2AWQ 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. WHEN - WHERE - WHAT The CX will run from 1400 UTC February 13 to 0800 UTC February 14, 2005. (9 AM Eastern Time on Sunday to 3 AM Eastern Time Monday) CW: Send "CQ CX" Phone: Call "CQ Classic Exchange" SUGGESTED FREQUENCIES: CW: 1.810 3.545 7.045 14.045 21.135 28.180 Mc. AM: 1.890 3.880 7.290 14.286 21.420 29.000 Mc. SSB: 3.870 7.280 14.270 21.370 28.490 Mc. Exchange your name, RST, QTH (state US, province for Canada, country for DX), receiver and transmitter manufacturer/model (homebrew send final amp tube or transistor type) and other interesting conversation. The same station may be worked with different equipment combinations on each band and in each mode. Non-participating stations may be worked for credit. SCORING Multiply total number of QSO's (all bands and all modes) by the sum of the different types of receivers and transmitters you worked (transceivers 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 of 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. Total QSO's all bands times RCVRs + XMTRs+ states/provinces/countries (total each band and mode separately; add totals together) times CX Multiplier: (total years age of all transmitters and receivers used) SCORE= QSO's x (RX +TX+QTH's) x CX Multiplier Certificates and appropriate memorabilia are awarded every now and then for the highest score, the longest DX, exotic equipment, best excuses and other unusual achievements.
