I don't understand the economics of converting a residential service 
to 3-phase power (LOTS of money to a licensed electrician, plus 
building permit) versus a few extra bucks for a power supply in my 
ham rig. And I've got to build that power supply, I can't buy it.  At 
a 50kW broadcast transmitter site, no argument.
