Someone has lent me a SB200 for the SS fone contest.  At his shack it
puts out 600w using 240VAC.  At my shack I only have 208VAC available,
and the amp only puts out 350w.  We measured the current with load
applied and it measured 206V.

1) Is the drop in power likely attributable to the drop in available
voltage?

2) Are there any practical remedies (other than finding a 240V source)?
