I got hint from USA about Legacy category, similar to Extreme.

The second part of the scoring will be determined by a subjective
evaluation of the technical backwardness employed by the entrant.

Some aspects worth considering:

1. Separate TX and RX with tubes
2. Mechanical VFO with LC tuning
3. Straight key or Vibroplex
4. Electronic keyer without memory
5. Paper logging of time, QSO, mults and dupes
6. Wire antennas without coaxial cable feedlines
7. RF power limited to 160 W.
