Hi Bry, an interesting thought. But many of the Novice style rigs didn't have phone, so they will not be on for that portion of CX. In any event, I do have one or two "Novice" era rigs around so we'll see what happens! For those who do have a Novice style rig with AM built in, I'd think 10 meter

Shouldn’t be an issue. Just observe the 6.0VAC rating. Running it from a 6.3V trans may not give you the internal transformer drop you need to be at 6.0V. If need be put a very low value 0.1 ohm, 5 watts or more in series. But check the actual voltage you get with your supply. 73 Howie WB2AWQ
