I was listening a few moments ago in the Extra Class section of 40 meters and
two US hams were talking about amps. One has an amp wired for 120. The other
ham said that he would not even think about running an amp on 120. The reason
was interesting. The ham said he used to run his amps on 120, but with the
cost of power these days, he could no longer afford to run it on 120, at double
the power cost. Wait, it gets better. The other ham said he had not thought
about it, but that made sense and he would change over.
I turned the radio off and made breakfast.
