My point would be that signal reports are meaningless, period. No matter what the other stations sends, you have no idea what you sound like over there. All you know is he can hear you well enough to copy most of what you are sending.
The only truly honest report one could give would be 'your signal strength varies with condx, in 12 hours i feel sure i will not be able to hear you on this band, however i can copy you, at least partially, right now' . . . but I think we'd all agree that is bit long to send, even for rag chewing. And anyway, signal reports say a lot more about propagation than they do about your station. 73 de dave ab9ca/4 On 2/20/12 10:42 AM, Matthew Pitts wrote: > Why be upset with a 599?
