[CQ-Contest] Shack power wiring

[Brian Short]

At home, I have a 220 circuit for the amp alone along with 2 110 circuits.
I use one of these for an air conditioner (only) - Arizona, and the other 
for the rest of the computer, radio, etc gear.

Personally, I'd strongly suggest an independent 220 circuit for the amp.

>For my money I'd run one  220V circuit for the amp by itself and one 120V
>circuit for everything else, both #10. My logic has always to run the amp
>on a seperate circuit you get better voltage regulation at the far end that
>way. A sepearte 60Amp service is probably overkill although handy to have
>the breaker box in the shack, also a lot more expensive.
