[Elecraft] 120V vs 240V

[K4SC]

If I were going to the trouble to pull the wire, I'd run 220V.  You give
yourself the option of using a heavier amplifier in the future, and less
voltage drop (twice as much on 120V).  You can always use the neutral and
one side for 120V now if you really are stuck on it, and use both side of
the line, minus the neutral later if you need it.  Remember the amplifier
output is 600 Watts, the input is well over 1KW.  What do the lights in your
bathroom do when you or the xyl turn on a hair dryer?  Mine dim.  Same thing
will happen voltage wise when you key the amp.
