Let me posit a SWAG on why this case APPEARS to buck the math in reality....
I submit that all "noise" is not equal. I'm guessing that you can hear a radio transmission mathematically below the apparent noise level because it is "atypical" or "organized noise" as opposed to the "noise" in the S2 noise floor which is "disorganized". Obviously, there are much more correct and scientific ways of illustrating this, but it would be a LOT longer winded. :) 73, PS - Just my intuitive SWAG, btw. ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 12/31/2016 1:36 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > Please let me correct my typo: 100 mW is 30 dB down, not 40.
