[CQ-Contest] 48 db down

[kr2q at optimum.net]

Rather than calculate it based on xmit'ed power, it is easier for me to look at it from the
receive perspective.  If you are 20db over S9, then 48 db down is about S4.5 on the meter.

And obviously, if local, his signal might be 40 over 9 which is just short of S8...pretty loud
and quite legal.  And with many of the 'generous' S meters around, S8 just might show up
as S9 or greater on anyone's meter.
