Since we measure signal strength in volts and power in watts and since watts
vary with the square of the voltage, are your 6dB per S-unit dB of voltage
difference or of power difference?  In other words, if I double my power am
I quadrupling my volts?  Inquiring minds want to know.

It's even better than that. One S unit is 6db so 25 watts is one S unit less
than 100 watts.  So an S9 signal at 100 watts is just a frog's hair under S8
at 20 watts.
