[Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

For those that travel with the KPA1500 amp, 120v would be a nice option. 
240V is not always readily available from rental homes, generators, etc.
Being able to use the amp, even at reduced power, in these situations
would be great.

The reason for using 240VAC is to reduce the IR drop in the AC line,
which, BTW, is not sinusoidal, but rather pulses that charge the filter
caps at the peaks of each cycle. So the drop in the wire is even greater
than Ohm's law appliced to a sine wave would predict.
