Hi Ian, VE3ZI: G3ROO: know just how strong my signals are... not an ego boost! The problem is that I tend to use S-meters only when signals reach S7 or above. Below that I use the more subjective "by

S-meters have little meaning when using receiving antennas. The most copiable signals are often not moving the needle (or bars) at all, but are R5. Even when I listen on my transmit antenna, it has

Yes, of course S meters cannot be relied on, but ears and some grey matter between them are better than nothing!This afternoon I got really p** off when a UA station about 2000 miles away (and it was
