I'm trying to set up at a "portable" location for the 160m contest and
discover that the line voltage here is 208VAC, not 220VAC. The amp (Alpha
76C, 3x8874) docs state that the intended operating range is 220-250VAC.
Will 208VAC be too low? The primary concern would be the filament voltage,
which might be too low on 208. There are no taps on the power transformer,
so I'm stuck. What say ye amp wizards?
