You could have different categories based on the age of radio (at least
when it first appeared).
The EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) classifies aircraft
according to three categories: Antique (before 1945) , Classic
(1945-1955), and Contemporary (1956-1967).
And not everything has to be tubes, either. Maybe the contemporary
class could be solid-state rigs that are 20 years old (which my TS-430
would qualify for this year....), classic would be post 1945 tube rigs,
and antique anything before 1945.
Interesting idea.
