In 1965 I used an old WWII WS19.
It did not show any "honest" S-meter reading.
And I wonder what you read nowadays with AGC "off"

Or have a look on amateur equipment and their S-meter readings, most are
completely wrong.

I wonder what you are going to log if I send you my "honest report" as
5950db/µV or 59.316mV

Okay, you guys made me go dig out my old logbooks...

I think this was Field Day on June 26, 1965 I operated SSB and both gave and
received "honest" reports.

At 1811z I received a 47 from WA2QKG in New York and I have never been able
to get over that!
