Recently on 75 meters while calling the same station, I was reported as 2 s
units better than another station.
I was using my rain gutters for an antenna, the other station was using a
rhombic.
Since an s unit is typically 6 db, I have therefore determined that my rain
gutters have 12db gain over a rhombic.
Sorry, I thought the list could use some comic relief:-)
