[Elecraft] 120V vs 240V

[Don Wilhelm]

  Yes, a 20 VAC drop is something that would cause me to look at the 
wiring carefully.
If the receptacles are wired using the "backstab" holes rather then 
having the wires secured under the screws, that is a possible cause, as 
are loose screws in the receptacles.
