3.  The standard pole transformers which were popular for building power 
supplies from
     provide much more than 3KV unless you drop the input voltage down to 40 or 
50 volts.

Please clarify my thinking here as to what you mean by "standard pole 
transformers"
Is this the same transformer that is situated on the power poles that supply 
the electricity to the consumer???
If this is correct how do you obtain one of these transformers??
Would they not be faulty to be taken out of service??
What would be the output voltage of one these transformers???

Not being a local ham {that is in USA} I am just curious!!!
BTW our output power limit here in Australia is 400w PEP on ssb
