The object is to encourage restoration, operation and enjoyment of this older Classic equipment. 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 as your multipliers are directly related to the age of the equipment you use! However, you can still work the "great ones" with modern equipment.

I put the new K6IOK quint power supply with the newest upgrade board in it and it comes on perfectly now. BUT.... Upon my first power up it has an " on air " issue. No mic has been plugged into it, and no the send button is not pressed I checked that first. No sound comes out of the speaker because there's no receive because of this problem. I did hook up a mic and pressed the PTT but no modulation happened like the mic wasn't even attached. What could be the issue? I hooked up the new supply as instructed and everything comes on as intended. I can change bands with the buttons on the front, I can also roll the vfo around but nothing changes as the "on air" light stays on even when out of regular ham bands. Is this a finals issue or maybe a crossed wire somewhere? Please help as this radio came from my SK uncle and it is what I grew up with learning ham radio in the first place so it means a great deal to me to use this rig as my home base.
