[CQ-Contest]Re: [CQ-Contest] S units have been 6 db for a LONG time.

A 6 dB division and intuitively the half, 3dB, have definitely a 
meaning.
6dB equals a doubling in voltage and a four times the power, 3dB 
increase a power doubling, and so on.
Everything loses meaning when the AGC voltage doesn't follow this 
logaritmic law and a receiver is a communication equipment rather than 
an instrument.
