I am curious as to why you chose the 110 volt figure?

I’ve been wanting to build a buck transformer for my BA station for 20 
years.  Maybe I’ll get to it this year…. Was planning to buy a new Hammond 
12.6 VAC 5 or 6 amps or so transformer and buck the line voltage, should 
yield me around 110 volts.  Was thinking that I could plug the boat anchor 
power strip into it and power the BA plugged into the strip.  Are a lot of 
guys using buck transformers?
