Why disqualify the big gun? Every station that works him as the opportunity to
demand a signal report. In fact, they have the duty! Yet, in listening to a
few stations giving serial numbers only this weekend (probably 3 or 4 hours in
total), I never heard a single one ask for a signal report. Secondly, I
disagree with the notion that a report is entirely subjective. The ?S? part,
as I understand it, is supposed to be derived from whatever one?s S-meter is
reading. So, at a minimum, a third party, standing over the shoulder of the
?giver? of the report would be able to verify that at a given moment a signal
caused a certain S-meter to give a certain reading.
